[Lee H]

Nice looking tractors. Is that some type of PTO on the front of the one on the right.

Yes, Thats the pto to run the mower deck and also a snowblower or
what ever you can put on the front. Also has rear pto and 3 point hitch.

Thanks
I picked them both up this past summer. The 1800 Hydro has 214 hrs
and the H1502 has 630 hrs. When i went to look at them i just had to
have em. Both came from two separate sellers.

That one is an Iseki diesel right? Very Cool!



What about Bolens Huski FMC? Can we play?

 

[Lee H]

That thing is sweet Steve. And yes you can play.

The H1502 is made by Iseki and has the Mitsu 3 cylinder diesel.

I have a picture of my dad plowing snow with it in 1966. Just couldn't find it last night.

Does iseki produce their own diesel now? My dad bought a brand new Yanmar compact tractor last fall. Those little diesel tractors are handy.

I couldn't tell you who makes the engines for Iseki now.
I have only had this one since August and now very little
about them.

I like that custom leaf blower attachment! I like that ford truck too.

 

[GPX433Todd]

Got a couple of them.

We had Bolens tractors when I was a kid (early 70's) and they were far from new. Cast iron everything, big WI power, HI/LO gearbox....UNSTOPPABLE

My old bolens wide cut mower put the Conrod out the side last week it's a Briggs 8.5hp industrial engine
I got a new Briggs 13.5 hp Intel had too fit up a battery and electric on off and put the fuel tank up on the handles
Quite a bit of work but well worth it

 

[exSW]

7710 on the brushhog?

 

[ajschainsaws]

No it's a 7810 6- cylinder Great tractor

 

[exSW]

I don't think we got those. But I quit paying attention after they became NH.

 

[ajschainsaws]

Yes this one is the last models sold before they went too new Holland
I think it's the same engine as the 8710 6.6L

I have 2 of those Bolens Iseki diesels! One I bought new in 1984, the Gear drive model, G152, and one which I inherited from my Dad when he died, his is the G1502 like yours. Each of these tractors have right around 1000 hours and other than routine maintenance, a head light bulb and a shifter boot on the gear model they have never given any trouble. I have done work to both mowers and the cable lift system.

These Iseki diesels were also made and sold under the Massey Ferguson and White nameplates. So you can get parts there. There are also some places that specialize in parts for these tractors which I have found while searching the net.

Iseki still makes tractors for at least Massey Ferguson today. I believe Iseki makes their own engines these days. Both of my units have the Mitsubishi 3 cylinder diesels like in yours. These tractors are tough as nails and will last a lifetime if properly cared for. Bolens made products that were built to last, maybe that is why they did not survive, the units were built so well they rarely broke and owners did not wear them out and have to buy new!

Enjoy them!

Your 100% correct Two Trax, They are built to last.
Is your G1502 a gear type. Mine is the H1502 for Hydrostat.
Both of mine are hydros and i love them that way. So much
easier going from forward to reverse and back.
