Sorry, cannot help you there, I do not have or ever have any plans to have a FEL....just really no need at my place or for my applications. My 4 acre's is on top of a fairly wide ridge overlooking the Platte River and is essentially flat where I mow... For the past few years, we generally have received very little snow here, (less than 1 inch so far this season) occasional dumps in February, March and April but generally it is blowing pretty good and being up on the top of this hill you have drifting and bare spots anyway.... I have found the rear 60" Blade handles all of my needs... other than that I just mow "alot" of grass on flat ground....
Good therapy I might add... you really dont think about too much else when you are mowing.... On the parts, no, they thought it would be quite easy... remember, these essentially have the same parts as Massey's and Agco's... get the manual or you can just call when of the dealers I mentioned earlier and they will cross reference the part... this would be for most things mechnical... now if it is a cosmetic part, that would need to be ordered from Japan in blue... order a Massey here and repaint it blue, or if it is a black part, it will just fit fine..... Remember, most of these are 10 or less years old..mine is a 1993 model... many of the other Iseki's still coming in are early or mid 80's, and they can still get parts for those...
A couple of simply examples are the rear tailight assembly..they still use the same one today on the Agco's and Caterpillers, exactly... or the rubber floor mat, or the glass piece in the mud guard on the platform...
There is one actual Iseki Dealer in the United States... The only one authorized is Rainbow Tractor in Hawaii... I suppose since it is a remote region...They can get you parts from Japan directly.... remember though that the TA210 was not marketed outside Japan... they just use many of the same parts as models that were....
Give it a test... call one of the folks and see... actually buy a fairly simple preventive maintenance part that won't set you back too much, such as a molded radiator hose, or wheel bearing... and see how long it takes.
Just a suggestion...
