I just got done rebuilding my wiring harness covering and I too have a 4 pin alternator, however one of the right pins is not used I cannot remember if its upper or lower looking at the backside of the alternator, I am very new to the L 1500 world (2 weeks) but I do believe and L 175 alternator...

Are these in Japanese, my daughter in-law seems to swear up and down that this is Chinese?

I have found my problem, the reverse gear looks to be relatively okay. What I think based on my parts book is the Main Shaft is toast. This may also explain the noise in 3rd gear. Will definitely have to split the tractor for this, no way around it. So the parts search starts, the part number...

Re-did the wire loom covering, no more delaying the inevitable, time to start tearing into the transmission!

I think I will have to, a bit of checking my parts manuals, the reverse gear P/N L1500 34150-2318-3 L175 34159-23100 L225 DT 34200-23100 L185 DT 37150-23100 I wonder how their part numbering system works? For all the US Models the second string of numbers is identical.

I have found a lot of info on this forum, and received some manuals from some of the participants herein. Thanks to those, Darren and Russell come to mind, if I forgot someone I am sorry. I have a good grasp on what manual to use for what part of the tractor, but there are some gaps. L175 for...

Some new pics, got her in one of the shop bays, so far I have started on re-doing the electrical. Still researching the "no reverse" but that will come shortly.

I found something almost identical at the local Electronics (junk) store. Almost have all the wiring re-done.

Close, I have some of that in the shop. To be correct, it needs to have a smooth body not ribbed.

Does anyone out there have a source for the correct plastic cover that slips over the wiring loom on the L 1500. I have restored several American and a couple British cars but never a Japanese vehicle and I'm not sure where to get this as none of the vehicles I've ever worked on have had this...

Without having mine dismantled yet..... Are you using the "bent screwdriver" through the access hole to push the shaft back in? Any one else done this?

I have read all the posts regarding the L1500, and I just got one. I have no reverse, and I saw a post about an easy 2 minutes vs 2 hours way to get the tranny top cover back on. However it was something along the lines of "stay tuned for........." but I never saw that that was posted. No...

Finally closed the deal and got the beast home today. 72? L1500DT with a Great Bend M10 FEL, Rhino Rear Blade, Atlas Landscape Box, Brush Hog Squealer Mower (all 48") and a Cross Bar with 2" Ball. Body and paint in good shape, paint should clean up real nice, a couple of small rips in the rear...

Thanks, got it! This should help if anything goes wrong with the 4WD system. I am picking up a L1500DT next Saturday (finally), deals been going on for months. Has no reverse, comes with a 4' Brush Hog, 4' Rear Blade, 4' Landscape Box, and a 4' FEL with Forks. Other than that it rums STRONG and...

Not sure what you mean here? But if someone has the shop manual available as a PDF that would be great. I did download the Parts List, so I can send that as a PDF if any one needs it. Thanks, Bill

Should have been clearer, it is the US equivalent for the DT or 4WD part of a L1500.

I understand this is the same? as a L1500DT as far as the 4WD goes, does anyone have this available in a PDF? Thanks, Bill

www.best-used-tractors.com in Oregan claims to have most all parts, with the exception of sheet metal to keep most grey market tractors running. I think next week when the owner is back in town, I will start negotiating. Will see what happens. Bill

Good question rmasonjr!

Well I thought this was a done deal at $1000, alls I had to do was hear it run and do a test drive, bring the money, and pick it up. But now he's back peddling on the price. So I think I'd like an opinion if I could get one or two. The tractor in question is a 1970 L 1500 DT the hour meter is...
