    Not much Iseki action on this forum...

    It must mean we Iseki owners have little or no problems to deal with :D . Sorry about all those poor Yanmar guys and their troubles....JUST KIDDING! ;) I guess I've got a case of cabin fever with all the snow outside from our one and only blizzard this year in So. CO. Guess I'll just have to...

    Jerky 3-pt lift

    Hi guys, Hoping someone can tell me the likely reason my TS1610F does'nt lift my tiller very smoothly. The tiller jerks up in steps as I lift it with the lever. Plenty of hydraulic oil. Haven't checked the suction strainer yet. Could this be it? Any other possibilities to look for? Thanks...

    Yanmar 2-pt tiller - 16-spline shaft?

    Howdy, I picked up a Yanmar 2-pt tiller in good condition and plan to use it with my Iseki TS 1610F tractor. Only trouble is it has a 16 spline shaft that measures about 1.175-in. outside splines (compared to the standard 1-3/8" 6-spline shaft on the tractor). My question is: is there an...

    Rubber dust covers on greased ball joints

    Hi, Wondering if any of you has a source for the one piece rubber dust covers that fit over the ball joints of the drag link and other steering control arms. I have an Iseki TS1610F and need replacements. Are there universal ones available from auto parts stores or tractor supplies? Thanks in...

    Can crack be fixed in aluminum casting?

    Hi all, I have had an on-going problem with oil filling the valve cover on the Isuzu diesel motor of my Iseki TS1610F tractor, and then flowing out the breather after about 5 minutes operation. I was advised it was probably blowby from weak rings. So, I did a top end rebuild...new rings, rod...

    Is there a T-stat in TS-1610F ?

    Hi guys, I was going to check the condition of the HW t-stat in my tractor...never did before. Well, in the Bolens G194 manual (closest thing I have to this actual Iseki model) there clearly shows a bolted, rounded casting on top of the upper HW hose connection to the motor with a t-stat...

    Injection pump lube dilution

    Good morning all! I have a grey market Iseki TS1610F that is running pretty good. However, I have never checked the injection pump lube oil before. This last weekend I located the upper oil level and drain screws on the body of the pump and decided it was probably time to drain and change the...

    Seat springs retro-fit

    Have any of you added/installed coil springs to your non-sprung stock seat? I have an Iseki tractor with a seat that pivots forward/up from the tractor and sits down on small, round neoprene pads.....not too soft. I really like the stock seat. It looks nicely built and is a good fit for me...

    Followup to Oil Gushing problem - Iseki

    Howdy, just thought I'd give a followup on the problem I'd posted about a few months ago on my Iseki TS1610F that would gush oil out the valve cover breather. Maybe it'll help someone else with a similar problem. Obviously I had plenty of blowby that prevented the oil at the top (head) from...

    Oil & Fuel  Kiki system fuel pressure

    Howdy, I've got another question for the Iseki forum. Does anyone know the opening pressure of the fuel nozzles for the Kiki fuel injection system? I took one of the fuel nozzle holders apart and realized that I backed off the screw that sets pressure on the spring. I have the manual for the...

    Iseki Blue Paint

    Has anyone found a close match in a spray can to the Iseki blue paint color, particularly on the TS series? I found a Krylon Safety Blue which matches the cap of the can real close, but the actual paint color comes out more like a soft baby blue instead of the vivid color on the tractor. There...

    Lifter inspection port

    Howdy, I'm in the middle of a motor rebuild on my TS1610F and I was curious if any of you have removed the so-called lifter inspection plugs pressed into the side of the Isuzu block, just above the cam followers. There are two of these plugs, one-each for two lifters, and they are about...

    Iseki TS1610F - Oil gushing from breather cap

    Howdy all you tractor nuts, I just recently purchased this tractor, my first, for a real good price. Guess I know why now. Ha! Anyway, need your help in diagnosing this problem. The motor starts real easy and runs well. No smoke after short warm-up. I run the tractor for about 5-minutes and...

    Re-route Exhaust

    I was just wondering if any of you have, or have considered, re-routing your exhaust from vertical discharge to down under the rear axle like a lot of tractors such as the Farmall Cub, International utilities, and Ford 8N's (see attached photo of a re-routed Farmall Cub). I just bought an Iseki...

    Iseki TS1610F steering link

    Hi, I just bought this tractor, my first, and am pretty excited about it. I haven't had a chance to go over it yet, but did drive it around some and all the drive train seems to work well. I did notice, however, that there's about a 1/4" slop/play where the steering tie rod, or link(?) connects...
