    hydraulics for snow plow on L1500 and fix for loose 3pt hitch lever

    i tapped in the banjo oil fiting bolt on mytractor to raise the snowplow. that was the easy part. return oil should be submerged to minimize foaming. while i was waiting for the reverse gear, i put a peice of well greased aluminum sheet under the spot i wanted to drill and tap. i then magnatized...

    L1500 reverse gear

    . reflecting back, if i was to do it again. i would push the reverse shaft forward first and try to remove the o-ring that is just behind the locking grouve. that o-ring makes the job hard as there is 2 bushings in the reverse gear and there is a space between them. good luck. did u see the...

    question for Mr. K

    thanks for the reply Mr K. what i want to know is how can a dealer in AB alabama i asume can sell a reverse gear for $79 and i have to pay $320 in Canada. thats 4 times as much. that in my book is criminal. i hope that this gets forwarded to the head office and someones pee pee gets slapped.

    L1500 reverse gear

    IMHO the reverse gear is a design flaw. the reverse gear barely meshes in front and the back part is also barely meshed. i noticed that when u put it in reverse, u can go past the dedent notch in the shifter shaft about 1/8 in. sooooo, i don,t want to do this again. i made a auto reverse lock...

    L1500 reverse gear

    i too changed the reverse gear without sliting the tractor as described in an ealier post. the hard part is geting the oring seal through the gear. i made a little tool woth a scrapt peice of pipe. i threaded a 1/4 in hole in the end and kept puting in longer bolts to push the shaft through...
