Pretty sure that a Bolens G174 is the same machine. I'd try checking online salvage yards, What exactly happened to your front axle?
I sheared the front left stub where it joins the wheel hub along with the drive shaft inside.
Basically the loader was stronger than the axle so whilst it lifted the load fine as I reversed the axle went.
It's a great little tractor so really keen to get it going but can't find an axle anywhere, I figured it may share with some others in the Iseki range.
Will add the Bolens to the search and see if that finds anything, thanks

I keep seeing parts references indicating the Iseki TX1500F is the same machine/ crossover as the Bolens G174 and others saying the G174 and the 2160 are the same/ crossovers. That is my observation, I cant claim to know if that is truly accurate but might be helpful. Again, I would start by checking online salvage yards for parts machines. Just curious, are you located in the U.S.? Home | West Kentucky Tractor Parts | Kevil, KY | The Parts You Need, At A Price You Can Afford! lists a G174 parts machine in stock ( who knows if they have a front axle but worth a shot) I would also contact Sheaffer's Town & Country Tractor may have a parts machine but if not they can often times order obscure parts from Japan. Len Scheaffer is one of the undisputed heavyweight champs of grey market tractors knowledge and parts sourcing.
Thanks Daryl,
I'm in the UK
I've been searching for breakers but most in the UK only deal in the large JD's, Masseys and Fords, only found 2 that do Iseki but no axles in stock.
Got the axle of and stripped down today, looks like the hub is cast steel so potentially could be welded but it'd be messy and I'd kinda worry about it going again so that's last resort

Sorry for your grief. Just curious. Did you use adequate rear counterweight?
Had a large counterweight on the 3 point, don't know what it weighs but it's a pretty large lump of concrete.
Looks like the Iseki axle is cast so probably a combination of loader being stronger than the tractor and maybe a shock to the axle?
It might be weldable but don't think I'd ever trust it after so just need to track down a used one in the UK
