Please let me know if you come across ANY, I am in a never ending pursuit of Japanese decals for my L1500DT I may be able to help with hood decals, changed my "DT" to "1500" last night, not sure if it is "restoration" correct, but it can be tweeked. Be nothing to remove a 0 and add a 1, to...

DANG YOUR GOOD! Not yer first ro-deo I am gessin!

Thanks, I should have mentioned to neutralize it!, the aluminum I assumed with the class of viewers here was a no brainer,. but a good catch also.

In the past we have used good ol Muratic Acid (pool acid), diluted with water. Works great on metal that has no paint, but you can not use it on structural items like springs shackles, etc. because you will get imbrittlement. That would make these types of items weak. This is from old timers in...

Is this it................ http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18239&highlight=modified+rear+blade? These plans are linked in that post, not a conversion but a box blade build none-the-less. http://www.green-trust.org/junkyardprojects/FreeFarm&GardenPlans/BoxBlade.pdf...

What decals are you looking for? In all my research the L1500 warning decals would have been in Japanese, I would LOVE to have a set but so far no luck. dmsupplyco on E-Bay sells reproductions for US models but not the L1500 These are for the L185 but they have other models also...

I guess its true what they say.... If it ain't one thing its the next, Murphy's Law, etc. No sooner do I get the front end / engine painted and the Right Side Front Axle Case starts to a leaking. I was going to go through all the fluids at a later date, looks like that is sooner than...

Put some "color" of the engine / front end, once again mother nature was on my side, not bad for February in Colorado!

Re: Help wiv my headlights A 1157 bulb or (Taillight / Stoplight) is only (27 / 8.3) Watts, hardly enough watts for a headlamp. My L1500 came with (35 / 35) watts, and that is still barely bright enough?

Re: Help wiv my headlights The photo Stu posted does have three connections? He is looking for a headlight bulb, and we can not see both locking pins to know if they are staggered or not, but I believe they are generally not on headlight bulbs of this nature. High is both filaments hot and...

Re: Help wiv my headlights I am not familiar with the bulb style/base for the ZL2201 (L245), but if it is the same as my L1500. Either of these should work (if it is a P15D-30 base).... These are 45W vs the standard 35W http://www.ebay.com/itm/161725463837?item=161725463837&viewitem=&vxp=mtr...

Started sanding my steering wheel, did the epoxy fill last week and let it get good and cured. Still a work in progress, but already MUCH better than the original! These are only some of the 30+ pictures I took.

Got the engine and front end primered with DP-50 Epoxy primer, Ordered the quart of Blue last week, Maybe color next week-end? Weather permitting! Also started the restoration of my steering wheel.

JUST LOOKED AT IT! One last once over, going to shoot Epoxy Primer on the engine / front end tomorrow.

PREPPED ENGINE FOR PRIMER Got everything masked and all externals (FEL), tarped and ready for primer. GOD willing (my honey) and the Cric don't rise (weather). Next weekend I will shoot a couple of coats of DP50 (circa 89). Glad I kept it, I hear the DPLF 50 (Lead Free) sucks. Stirred it up...

I have a couple of dilemmas as I reassemble my L1500 transmission, First when I reassembled and installed the input shaft, a thrust washer that was on the original WILL NOT fit. I got the gear and bearing as tight as a ducks arse, and that's waterproof, but when I go to put the washer and...

I was not thinking of that aspect, it was more of a $$$ vs Time, and since that gear is easily changed with out a split, that was my thought. I was just going to "clean-up" the reverse gear with a file and Emory cloth. I guess since I do not need a tractor in the midst of Winter, I do not...
