I am guessing it is a synchoshuttle like on my 1533. I wish I had an idea... I have a service manual in pdf for the 1533.. parts will not be the same. It might give you some ideas if you want to see it. Its on my google drive and I can PM a link for it. Let me know....

We have a 1533 synchroshuttle. It has a range lever and a gear shift. 8 forward and 8 reverse speeds/gears. If the 1433 you have only has a range lever, then I would say it is a hydrostatic. There is a version of the synchroshuttle that has 16 forward and 16 reverse.

Tell us more about how you connected the jumper wires... did you also connect a (-) wire? Or just the positive? I'm thinking starter solenoid or the lead from the battery to the block.

It should be. Much of the software for the individual OE vehicles is stolen from the vendors who actually do the work. Don't get me started on Autel or on Launch. If you had a way to test the VAG support in the tool, there are fault codes we embed to verify the theft... Like, "Check the...

To your point @5030 we considered making a patent for the product we produce because in 2000, the diagnostic tool approach we launched was unique in the auto repair industry. Then we thought about the fact that we would have to disclose details that would allow others to steal our idea...

Without a model and serial number, I find it hard to believe anyone could help you. Did you look around for the nameplate which states these? Its usually riveted to the frame on the tractor. See what you can find and then let's see if someone here can assist.

We have a 30x40 Barn/Shed/Shop - BSS for short. We intended a pole barn when design was planned in Feb of 2020. When the work started in June, we soon learned - no poles for you. Top of mountains tend to be pretty rocky. A foundation had to be built. There goes the budget. We thought...

We have the LS MT125 - and its bucket kept drooping... There is a failure in some of the LS and NH tractors - not sure yours is one - where the curl cylinders leak internally causing bucket droop. Not sure if that is what you meant by "floppy". Another member on this forum let me know about...

It will help me out also for when I add the 3rd function to our Missy.... I want to add a grapple arm to our forks or buy another fork set and add it to that fork set... I still consider myself to be a noob at all this. Probably will forever. After all, I only have 450 hours in the seat! Noob!

This manual covers the 1533 & 1540... Not sure how appropriate it will be to the 1532. I'll send it.

I have it in pdf form and can PM to any that needs it.

The info that @ptsg has given is what I have read in the service documents on the MF1533 which we have. I wanted to put a hydraulic powered cutter out front of ours but learned that we could only get max of 9.1 gal/minute flow - not enough to run the cutter. I too want to add a third...

If you want it, we have a sickle mower sitting in the corner of the barn. We no longer have a use for it. See this post: Road Side Mowing with a Sickle Bar I can and will post photos if you want to see it. We can talk price and so on if you have interest.

Have you considered cutting them down and then stump grinding? I did that with my 200' long 6' tall overgrown hedge. Rented a walk behind stump grinder (Stump Grinder Walk-Behind | Sunbelt Rentals) to chew it all up. Planted new right after grinding. The chips were mixed with the soil. So...

I remember seeing you were looking for a new grapple. Is it your plan to use the tractor and grapple to shuttle the brush? Are you allowed to burn? In Virginny, we make piles close to where we are working and burn there. We usually dig a shallow wide ditch and keep the pile small, feeding...
