Thanks Mitch - Yeah I'm happy with the way she looks now. I thought about trying to recover the seat pan, and may resort to that in the future. For now the gorilla tape will have to do. I am watching a few auctions on ebay right now for a new seat, probably the same you have seen. Worst case...

I happy to say that my refresh is done now. :thumbsup: I'm very please with the results, she looks like a brand new machine. Special mention to NHMitch for answering all of the questions I had. This weekend I'll be headed up to my place in Maine to fill an old cellar hole, and to spread some...

Installed the new lights after I masked and repainted the dash. Installed the illuminated dash switch in a hole that was left over from the prior owners attempt at fixing the ignition switch. Used a flat file to square it off the round hole and the switch slid right in. Dressed the wires into...

Hopefully it works this time.

I may have spoken too soon. I just hit paydirt and found a brochure online for the Brantly BH and FEL equipment. Here's the spec for the BH.

Thanks for the response JJ. There where a few prior links in this thread that I happened to follow. One of them was for an FEL valve from the Surplus Center. Valve + S/H was about $150 to my door, I should have clarified that. I neglected to mention in my prior post that I took apart a couple...

This thread is a few years old, but I will take a chance and post a question. I've got a Bolens-G154/Iseki-tx1300f and its a great machine for the properties I own. Recently I had a new clutch installed and I've just degreased and repainted the whole machine. It looks great but with any project...

Found the serial number on my machine today. Wondering if anyone can tell from the S/N what the year of manufacture is...

I like the white on the FEL Mitch. But I dont have the time right now to tear that down and do a proper job. I've got that on my long term plan to tear it down and re-do all of the hydraulic hoses at the same time. For now black paint will do. I gave all of the black iron a quick coat of paint...

Thought I'd start a thread which lists parts suppliers for the Bolens G series / Iseki 1300 series tractors. Looking for references and past expiriences (good or bad) for parts suppliers for this model tractor. I've contacted a few and will post what I've found in no particular order, happy to...

Inspired by a fresh clutch and a few nice gents on this site, I decided it was time today to start pulling the sheet metal off my tractor and begin the refresh. Last weekend I bought a couple bottles of degreaser and sprayed the entire machine down with it. Today I hosed it and scrubbed it...

Arrived at Jim's place at 5 tonight. Jim took the time to go thru each piece of the repair in depth with me. Then he gave me some training in coupling and decoupling the backhoe. I am thrilled with the clutch performance now. Jim did a great job and I highly recommend him to anyone. As for my...

I guess this must be the place that the take off gets installed, but there's not much room for it with the FEL frame in the way.

Greetings all; When I bought my tractor, the prior owner had told me that he fried a couple of the ignition wires due to a fault in the starter/glow plug switch. The evidence proves this to be correct as I did find one wire melted along the entire length of the steering column. Prior Owner...
