Iseki tx1500 name of lifting arms part?

[fxrs55]

Here are a few pictures of what you are missing. Maybe you could contact
the other owners and see if they have the missing parts.

That is the differential under that cover. Do you know if the hydraulic pump works?
Also, that black plastic plug is the original filler hole plug from the missing part.

Here is a link to the rebuild of my Iseki
lots of pictures.

OK thank you. I ended up reading your quest for two hours and i ended up speachless...

And i wish you were my neighbour

By the time i get heating in my garage (mine looks like yours) i Will spend winter taking it apart the way you did.

Do you feel like sharing how much money this project took?

 

[marcelPL]

You are correct Marcel. It would appear that a previous owner completely removed the entire 3-point system. Pics tell the story.

OK thanks. Anybody has any thought how much money would be involved in getting replacement for this?

Hydraulics work OK. When i bought it, it had this excavator connected to it, and it worked. Only when i disconnected it, problems were starting to show (like engine not starting). This excavator to me Sems a really nice to have, but i also want to use 3point operation. So i will need to learn about gaskets and welding haha. You're unbelievable! Just wanted to say that.

Ok small update on this quest for this 'unnamed part'. For sure it's one of those things/pieces that are not on offer a lot (or at all), because i have spent a really lot of time on internet, but there is nothing there.

In the end i ended up with a company here in Poland that imports these things from Japan, and has a few 'dead bodies' lying around to scavenge. They had one tx1300, and one tx1510 where i can choose from, but i am not sure which one is closest to the tx1500 i have. Anybody have any experience in this? I will put photo's of the two possibilities up here.

The bad news about these things being so hard to find is that they can make their own prices. They ask me 1500PLN, about 350 euro. I think this is a lot of money, but in the end, if it has to be then it will be this way. I still want to use the traktor as a traktor. Even though these parts are in a really sh*tty state pfffff.....

I have sent emails to similar companies in Germany and Poland, but sofar nothing. I will let it sit until beginning of 2019, and if nothing shows i will have to get the expensive one i guess. Is somebody knows such a company in the US that sells these parts from 'dead tractors' i would appreciate the name of website...?

After i get one the next question will be: where to get the gasket(s) for these old machines. Anybody from the US have tips/directions?

Anyway thanks for helping out, any suggestions about the tx1300 and tx1510 choice are welcome.

Thanks and happy holidays!

If its of any help, here is a link to my restoration, I cant work out how/why the previous owner has done away with the arms as its part of the back end, I cant understand what the benfit it would have been disgarding it.

Plenty of help on here though.

The benefit would be (i think) to connect this excavator (back-hoe?) in a very brutal way. I just have to hope that i can find a company that has a tx1500 dead-body lying around somewhere.

And thanks for the link on this Hungary company, at least i can buy gaskets now. I wanted to change engine oil, but the bolt under the oilpan is complete messed up, i cannot open it. So i will suck it dry, and remove the oilpan to clean it. But i don't want to work with this liquid gaskets, i already found 2 layers of this used on the oilpan.

Slowly but surely i am getting better at this. Thanks for the help

Attached photo what the machine looked like when i bought it. This explains the excavator.

Ok i finally found a company that has this part in (what looks to be) a descent state. It comes from a tx1300.

Can anybody who has this part comment on the state and if it looks to be complete? About state i mean i have no clue what the inside of this compartment should look like...

Many thanks again.

I looked at the picture you have of your tractor with the excavator mounted on it.
It looks like you have an early TX1500 because of how the rear wheels mount to
the tractor. Early TX1500's the wheels mounted to a cast iron center
hub and the that hub would slide on to the rear axle and the axle had
holes through it and different locations so you could change width of the
rear tires to fit between the rows of crops in the field. Also yours is a two cylinder
engine and the early TX1500's were two cylinder 15 hp motors.
The later TX1500's had a 3 cylinder 15 hp motor. The later ones had
a different axle design where the axle had a flange or hub on the end
where the wheel would bolt on to the center hub like a car wheel is mounted.
The early TX1500 tractor is as far as I have learned the early TX1500 is about
the same as a TX1300 except for the horse power, 13hp vs 15hp.
So the cylinder housing that you put up the pictures where its already remove
from other tractor will fit but its missing many parts you will need to make it work.
One of the main things missing is the control valve assembly.

But the cylinder assembly you have pictured that is
still mounted to a TX1300 donor tractor appears to
have all the parts on it which would be better
if that part from the TX1300 that is still mounted
to came with the control valve assembly.
Also look at the pictures of the 2 blue donor tractors
you posted, One is a TX300 and one is a TX1500
that TX1500 is a later 1500, look close at how
the wheels bolt to the axle.
