I mentioned it when I found this site a couple of years ago but needs to be mentioned again. When I bought my 1500D 12 years ago, there was virtually no info available out there on it, learned to operate it and service it by trial and error. Luckly I've had virtually no problems with it but you have no idea how much I appreciate this web site and the people who post here. Especially the dealers who have seen a bunch of these things and have run into many of the problems already. And now make parts and manuals available. Great tractors, but oh so much better now with the support available! Thanks to all!
