    Tires for my L1500

    Hi, yes that tractor WILL pull a 5ft brush hog, we have worn out 4 of them with our 1500, but we finally scaled back to a 4', but we could run that thing all day long, 8 full hrs with a 5 ft on the back and only use 1 tank, (5 gal) of fuel. If you have not found tires and wheels yet let me know...

    l1500 injector pump

    I am not sure about working on the pumps, I always take mine to an Injection repair shop, we have a really good one in the city. Just a FIY for any diesel motor, always run Diesel 911 or some other cleaner lubricant in your tank, it will help save issues like these, also make sure you change...
