I also (a few years ago) sent you a bottle of Wodka as thanks. M.

Yes :)

Hi Don, glad to hear that you are still 'in this world' , even though not into iseki or other stuff you did. I hope life will bring you some good/better turns in the near future, keep up the good spirit! greetings from Poland, i for one am still enjoying your epic documentation on the...

Would you mind posting as many photographs and comments as possible? My rear axle is leaking oil like crazy (iseki tx1300f), so pretty soon i will have to do the same. Thanks in advance! M.

Ok thx! M.

Yes they are exactly the same.

I have 2 iseki's: the tx1500 (2wd) and a tx1300F (4wd) Essentially they are completely the same. Even the parts manual shows this. My tx1300F has been heavily over-used (because of the shape of my ground i need 4wd), and has run minimal 100 times more hours than my tx1500. This shows in the...

-35F? That's almost -40 Celsius. Here in Europe we only have those temperatures in the north of Sweden and Russia. Must be a tragedy with everything that runs on fuel pfffff.... thx M.

I wanted to show my wife that all that money i put in this little iseki finally had a purpose lol Thx for the comment, appreciated. M.

I agree. With the FEL in front, and something connected to the back, these small tractors are still pretty big for manoeuvring in small spaces. And even though they are only 600 kilo, the power of the machine will really hurt your fence or a car whenever you touch something. Slow is good, more...

Well I had my first test. Last night was -20 degrees Celsius (that's -4 F),0and day temperature of -15. And it started. Basically without problem, only had to crank it for about 45 seconds before it really picked up and I could release the starter. :) Here is a little movie of me being happy...

Any link to such a product? Thx M.

So nice to read all these reactions. Makes me feel good that i am not alone in this :) So here is what i did so far: 1. i bought this battery tester. Currently i have 3 batteries around my house for use with the iseki's. The youngest is less than 1 year old. I have 330 cca (2x), and one 380...

Can I ask what battery you have put in? And what type of iseki you have? Thx, M.

Well you all convinced me :) . Yesterday i ordered both a battery tester, and a battery booster. Both will probably be here in the coming week. Another thing i found: i checked the manuals that i have, looking for what type of battery is recommended by iseki. Strange enough there is nothing...

I always put the throttle wide open when starting. That's not good? And any example of some battery load tester? I thought my multimeter could do it, but now i am not sure anymore... thx again, M.

Ok thanks, here is something i can start with. At least this will not cost me an arm and a leg. Already spent way too much money on these iseki's ;)

What do you mean with 'bump off idle'? Sorry i am not native speaking english, my bad...

This freeze plug type block heater sounds interesting. Did some google... But should this be attached in some specific location? Do the iseki engines have some designated place for this? I checked the manuals, but cannot find anything on it...? I already take out the batteries on both iseki's...

Like every winter i have problems starting both my iseki tx1300 and tx1500. Temperatures around 0 degrees Celsius now (=32 fahrenheit) I fully charged both batteries. Also i have placed an extra ground cable from battery to the starter engine. Still both machines will not start. Cranking is...

if you google the part number in the screen print (MD011351) you can find them literally everywhere.

This is from the manual:

Can i ask where in Europe you bought it? I live in Poland, and it looks like i have the same problem.... thx M.

My Iseki tx1500 had problem starting. So I took it apart (again) and found that one of the injectors was kaputt. I have a spare engine lying around, so decided to take injectors from this one. But like always they were not the same fitting, so I started to just replace the complete cylinder...

Not a lot. Just 2 bags of instant concrete as extra weight. Behind my 600 kilo iseki tx1300 I had my tiller, which is over 100 kilo, and is always kept low for obvious reasons. But because the front axis of my iseki is pivoting, anything in the FEL being raised can quickly get nasty. Having...

This is what happens to you when you run the FEL too high....

ps manuals have been sent to you. M.

There are two rubber O-rings that are identical i think. You should still e able to get them at any normal tractor shop. On my first encounter with my iseki there were parts missing, so i got a lot of help from people here on this forum to get it fixed. You will find many foto's and advice in...

Manually raising the 3PL does not affect the piston or anything. So this should not cause your problem. You will have to open up the top of the 3PL, and check the piston, which has 3 rings around it. This is not as bad as it sounds, you don't even have to drain the oil. Attached the section of...

I replaced the release bearing with a new one. The old one was just completely messed up. I will try a re-post of these photos. Thx M.

Ok finally did it. Me: 1 - tractor: 0 I took apart the middle part of tractor where the release mechanism is located. Taking this apart caused the release bearing to actually fall out . Including the part where it is connected to. With a good portion of hammering I could take off the release...

Just press the button for the English version, it is somewhere top-right

Small update. Just cleaning all metal pieces from this housing (tunnel? I don't know what it is called). I looked at the drive shaft from engine to gearbox, and it looks worn to me. But I am not sure what it is supposed to look like? Also next problem: this bearing (I think it is the clutch...

Update. Big strong neighbor came and did like Veni, vidi, vici.... He started by saying that, having 25 cm of space between the tractor parts, it was strange that the drive shaft from engine to gearbox was still connected on engine side. We hang the rear end of tractor also on ropes, took off...

Hi Arto, to lift out the engine, the tractor still had to be split, which still would not be possible because of the drive shaft. But maybe I see things wrong. - I have no skills or experience as an engineer or mechanic - I have hardly any tools or equipment for stuff like this - I don't even...

Well I spent another 1,5 day on this thing but no luck.so I am giving up. I started by following advice: spent time to take the FEL construction off... First the front part with the hydraulic cylinders. Also I created a little construction to hang the separate parts of the tractor so nothing...

Did you have this sound with something running on the pto? There is supposed to be some overload protection or warning coming from somewhere around the differential...

Ok thanks for pointing it out. Totally overlooked that. But I think this is part of differential, and who knows what else will fall out if I open it... But maybe I should take the risk... Thx! M.

Well I am right now looking at the manual, but there is nothing there. Just one bolt at the bottom. Must be a difference between Isekai and Kubota...

Pull it where? I took out the bolt underneath, but the thing refuses to move in any direction. Also I checked the manual, and cannot see any other thing that might be blocking it... Thx, M.

Well by now things are not going well. I have taken everything from tractor to perform the split, but i cannot disconnect the front drive shaft. At gearbox side I could see and reach this spring pin, but whatever violence I used, it refused to be driven out. On the front side there is this...

How did you split the tractor? Especially the front wheel drive shaft? I am in the process of doing the same at this very moment, but cannot disconnect the drive shaft to finish the split 🪓 ? Thx M.

And here is the middle part:

Strange. There should be 6 or 7 photos there, but I can see only 1. Here is the black cover:

So I started the split, but I am kinda stuck here on the drive shaft towards the front wheels. Does anybody know how to get this black protection cover off? I took out the bolt, but it's completely stuck. Also the part in the middle does not seem to be ok. On gearbox side I see a cable or...

Nope. Simply because i have no time. Plus that winter takes a lot longer than usual to say goodbye. I don't have a normal garage yet, so any work will have to be done outside. Not a big fan of standing in the rain...

Pretty impressive. Good work, mate! I wish you were my neighbor [emoji23]. The Iseki (I think) works a bit different. Splitting means the front and rear cannot stay together (like in your photos) . With front wheels still connected. But maybe I am wrong. I got the parts in today (from Hungary...

I will soon have to split my TX1300F to replace the clutch. This is far from my 'normal' world. Is there anybody here who has already done this excercise and has some tips or tricks available? many thanks Marcel.

Hi Chris, everything ok here, summer is finally coming :). Thx for asking, hope things are well on your side. There is no load on the engine. Just standing still, not shifted in gear or anything. Just pressing the clutch will stop the engine. My feeling tells me that i am looking at replacing...

My beloved iseki tx1300F suddenly has the issue that, when i press the clutch, the RPM drops significantly (engine even stops sometimes). Strange enough things are fine with the clutch up. Anybody ever experienced this on any tractor? Any clue about what can cause this? Somehow i have a...

You really have too much time on your hands at the moment [emoji23]. Better come over here and help me with my electrical problems :)

It looks like one of my injectors on tx1300 gave up. From what I found, all I can buy is a separate injector nozzle. But it looks like it's only a small part of the injector. Is there a way to separate the nozzle from the injector? To me this looks like one solid piece of steel... I can find...

Strange, i never had this problem, ordered stuff 3 times... Alternative (but much more expensive) is tracpartz from holland: https://www.tracpartz.com/

I can recommend these guys in Hungary. Good respons/service, and relatively descent prices :)

It was no trouble. The reason that you see these wires and cables is that i am working on the electric ****. Business as usual... :)

It should have. Both my tx1500 and tx1300 have it.

Check out the topic on a very complete reparation/restauration on the same type of tractor. It's 28 pages full of very detailed info and photo's/video's. I cannot remember of fuel pump was explicitly covered there, but there is a big chance. For sure it will be helpful. If you send (PM) me you...

for my tx1500 i just took the plug (or what was left of it) to a local tractor shop, and they had a new replacement just lying around. Maybe try this? And yes the plug had some rubber washer on it.

Hi Chris, nice to see you're still around here. Hope all is well. The first problem was electrical. It turned out that the stater engine did not have any ground connection. I put an extra cable from the starter to the minus on battery and this fixed it (after i had to get a revised starter...

You misunderstood, the problem was the starter engine did not turn. Did not even give a click. I did some wiki on how this starter engine works, and normally it is just impossible that it will not give this ''click'' when the small pin on starter engine is hardwired to the PLUS from battery...

The engine is free. When taking out starter engine i put a crowbar on this big disk where starter engine connects, and i can turn it. Not easy, but that's compression. Starter engine as a whole has been revised (?) just two days ago. It's like new, and after putting it back it actually worked...

No the engine stopped after 20 seconds. Then i tried to start it again, but there was nothing. Not even the ''click'' from starter engine engaging. That's why i am 100% sure its an electrical problem. But my knowledge on this subject is zero. I already replaced the battery, and the starter...

Hi all, my tx1300F will not start anymore. First i found that the ground cable and starter engine became extremely HOT after trying to start with help of starter cables (on my iseki tx1500). Even the starter cables became too hot to touch. After this i replaced both the battery, the starter...

Hi Keven, just send me your email address in a PM, and i will send you manuals that i have. M.

I have a service and repair manual lying around. PM your email and i will send you. I had a quick look (i am far from a mechanic), all i can find is maximum torque (kg/m : rpm) which says 3.5/2300. Does this mean anything? hth, M.

I have to bring this subject back to life. My hydraulics on the tx1500 have given up. Pump is working, all seals and o-rings are new and ok, oil is new. So it can only be this valve assy. But with all manuals i have, i cannot find anything on the inside of this thing. Does anybody have any...

Thanks for all tips and advice. I had a try cleaning It, but not really successful. The photo shows how it looked. I threw 3 hands of gravel / small stones in the tank, then tied it to my concrete mixer, and had it spinning for 1.5 hours. The result is not what I expected. This problem is...

Would it not be better to use diesel for the flushing? Because water is the reason for rust, and diesel contains some oil. It just sounds better to me? Anyway i will try to throw in some small stones, and also i will try to connect it somehow to my concrete mixer and have it spin around for two...

Hi all, I am a happy owner of 1 acre of land and two small iseki mini-tractors. But these 600kg were just too light to do the job with the land, do I bought an ursus c 360 , almost 40 years old. Seems to be in pretty good shape, but testing it showed it stopped every 5 or 10 minutes, and I...

Here is how it looks...

Pedro, you're the man!!! I followed you lead, connected two cables (as thick as i could find), and it started. The lights on the dash look different (more weak, and only one works), but i really don't care. As long as the tractor is working. @Chris: Thanks for the documents. I will keep...

And again, new day, new problem. Yesterday I changed hydraulics oil on my tx1500. I did it completely, take off differential and gearbox cover, cleaned inside, cleaned filter, put back together and hydraulics were working. Today using the tiller, after 30 minutes the tiller could not be...

This sunday i spent a few hours in garage again. This is what happened when i tried to start it in the morning: When trying to start it, some smoke came from what looked like under the little console/dashboard. From what i know this would indicate some short-circuit of any kind. I wanted to...

So you have this little iseki/bolens... Now what do you do with it??? Hi there, since about 8 months i am happy owner of my iseki tx1500 (later joined by a tx1300f) The purpose of this tractor was to prepare my half acre of ground to grow stuff. Grow stuff like potatoes, onions, and garlic...

I actually checked the manual, but except the specifications of dimensions and weight, there is nothing there. This iseki of mine is 40 years old, probably in this age they were not as thorough as now. Meanwhile i found what i was looking for, it has to be possible to connect double rear...

Hi d2cat, good observation, that could actually work. These bolts connect to a cylinder to go around the wheel axes, with a hole in them to secure position. I think I can move these cylinders from outside position to inside position? Thx M.

Ok i see what you mean... But my wheels have a different structure, cannot do that. But it got me thinking... My wheel-axes are just sticking out of differential, and the wheel is shoved onto the end of this axis. So what i could look for is some big cylinder that i can put/shove onto these...

I sided my little iseki tractor a few weeks ago. I got off really lucky, because a tree was almost in the way. You can find some photo's here in this thread: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/iseki/414683-oops-sided.html This little tractor has limited options to install a ROPS. But i can...

Haha Chris no worries, i'm not looking at awards, i just want to clean up this ground. This is what it looked like 2 months ago: in total i have taken out something like 1500 small trees... I tried taking the roots out with this custom-made back hoe i have: But it just does not...

Like in topic: i was stupid enough not to check fuel before going to work. So it ran dry. But after putting diesel in tank, it just will not start. Sometimes i can hear on a crank that it is picking up something, but 95% it is just making it's rounds... Is there any explanation for this? Any...

Based on recent events i started looking for a ROPS . I came across this link on the local ebay: ISEKI TX GA pałąk rama części ORYGINAŁ NOWA 76142232 - Allegro.pl As i have no clue what they should look like: Can anybody confirm this is a ROPS? Also: any clue how this has to be fitted to...

Hi Oosik (and others), 'fortes fortuna iuvat' means 'luck is with those who dare to try' . I guess i live by that credo :) problem is that i have around 900 small trees to cut, trying to clean up and cultivate my land after 20 years abuse/non-use. Using a chain saw will take too long, and...

Hi all, i have intention of building something to cut wood (small trees), max 12-14 cm thick. The biggest problem is that i need to slow down the PTO rpm. I have a little Iseki tx1300F, which gives abt 470 rpm. I need to slow this down to about 60rpm. This would involve gears. The smallest...

This is what i have on the tx1300F (identical).

Because i tilted my tractor i had opportunity to make photo's from the bottom view. Now looking at the photo's i see something strange. Well, i think it looks strange. This is the axis/shaft (no clue what it is called) for the front wheel drive. It seems not ok. Can anybody confirm? Any photo...

Haha no worries Don, you are always welcome here, o-rings or not. Make sure to bring the bottle of Wodka i sent you ;) Seriously, i know i was lucky, but also this ROPS would not have protected me from this tree. It was just a few circumstances together that made this happen. First, because my...

I was working some ground with the tx1300f and the rotary tiller. Somehow when making a turn it happened: Tractor went to it's side. I was seriously lucky, because this tree was in the wrong place, and it could have given me a few broken bones or worse... We tried to get it straight, but...

Ok, it took a while to move this subframe from the TX1500 onto the TX1300F. The reason is that there is a 0.5 cm difference in length between the two. And this steel subframe is not something that you can easily bend. To make it fit with a minimal number of changes, i first connected the front...

Ok this weekend i started taking the sub-frame (build to connect a FEL to my iseki TX1500) from the tractor, in order to connect it to my TX1300F. In the time that i have it, i already found that this FEL really needs a 4wd to operate it. The total device looks like this: I removed the FEL...

Haha Chris, nice of you to ask, so many things have happened here that i lost track. And 1000mile roundtrip? Where did you have to pick it up? And photo's of attachment would be great. Anyway what happened here: - my tractor went to get a FEL connected. I instructed these guys about the...

According to Tractordata this is an iseki-produced tractor, produced between 2005 and 2008, distributed by AGCO (worldwide operating company). So you should find parts pretty easy i think. TractorData.com Challenger MT225B tractor information AGCO info: Challenger Tracked Tractors, Combines...

Hi Don, miracles do happen. The parcel already arrived in good state :) I'm really happy, now waiting for my little iseki to return from getting a FEL installed, then i will open things up again. once again thanks, really appreciate it.

I have this custom-made backhoe that came with my iseki tx1500. From what i read on internet it is not a good thing to connect such a structure directly to the tractor. Because the tx1500 does not have a frame ( it is just the connections between engine, tunnel, gearbox, and differential) the...

Ok. Probably last message on this subject. I cleaned everything, changed oil on both engine and gearbox/differential. I managed to get a new oil filter for hydraulics from some polish company, because the old one was beyond repair. From this tractor60.hu i got oil filter for engine, including...

So here's my sunday. Cleaning time. I put the oil filter from gearbox in a bath of diesel to clean it. It shows 2 clear holes in the copper net. Not sure if i can fix this... I started cleaning the outside of differential, basically to be able to see oil leakage whenever this machine will...

Ok here come the explorations and observations from the past weekend. I tripled the size of my toolbox, so i should be ok. Temperature in garage was below zero, this part was not funny. I took the fenders to create some space and light. I had a 'do you feel lucky' moment, so i also removed the...

Ok small update on this project: i picked up that parts that i need to get this working. The external state of these parts is not really good, but i guess i can work on this. photos: I have to thank the people that have sent me manuals on the iseki, without these i would not get those...

Yes, the part that is already removed is fas from complete. I am still emailing these people about this. The two donor-tractors are resp. tx1300 and tx1510. And yes, the last is slightly different. So my best bet would be the tx1300 of these two. The bad news is that (i think) it is in a very...

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...

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...

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...

Ok, i decided to take it apart a bit to find out what really happened there. First some photo's to remember what it looked like: Then started with taking out the drawbar. It does not look to be original, more like someone welded some stuff together... Then removed to drivers seat to...

Ok the situation is that this excavator is connected straight into the tractor, not using these 3-point hydraulics (if that is the right name?), because this thing just is not there. I cannot see any connection for arms or something. Also the lever that should be to the right side of the driver...

Hi all, on my Iseki tx1500 they connected this excavator. But because of the way it is connected, one of the previous owner(s) removed the hydraulic part where the 2 lifter arms are connected to at the back. It is located under/behind the driver seat. Anybody has any clue on the name of this...

image added.

Hi all, my name is Kaz, i live in the south of Poland, just bought 1 hectare of land, and last week i bought an iseki tx1500 (2wd) second (3rd/4th/5th) hand. One of the previous owners built this digging machine (excavator?) and connected this to the back. Everything was running (starting) ok...
