Thanks LRP, I found your reverse lock pics. I might make something like that up while I'm working out how to do the rest as it would keep me going for a while I think. I'd love to see the pics of how to put the shifting forks back in. There was also a post suggesting that bending the fork is...

I've got this same problem with my L1500DT where you need to hold the gear stick up in reverse otherwise as soon as you release the clutch it will pop out. I want to work out how to fix it between now and when even holding the stick in reverse won't work but to be honest I don't know where to...

Great, I have hilly land and I'm hoping to rotary hoe to break everything up then grade on an angle to create terraces. So anyone know if I can get these things in Aus. It's not on the bareco website.

Thanks StorminN but I mean the adjustable bar on the right hand side that allows you to change the level on your implement. There seems to be a few different names for them. Here's a better link: http://www.eezs.com/product.php?task=detail&Product_Id=109 Looks like you can buy generic ones...

Hi I'm fairly sure they are called a levelling box. Like this: http://www.bareco.com.au/files/hydraul2001/hy22a.htm but not hydraulic. Anyway I need a new one because someone has welded mine fixed and I'm wondering if this is something I can buy generic off the shelf like a top bar or do I...

Ah, think I've found what I need in this thread: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2083&highlight=frost+plug

OK, so the original won't just go back in? Anyone have the part number for an L1500DT frost plug? Thanks kuboman

Hi I have coolant leaking out of the side of my engine. The leak is right behind the starter motor and appears to be coming from one of two inverted cap like things. Can anyone help with what I need to do here? Cheers Monte

Hey Vic Are you saying don't use the PTO drive shaft that came with the tiller if I use the short brackets and long toplink? I don't actually have the original and was planning on either geting a new one or seeing if the one I have for my slasher will fit. As for the weight I can't see how...

Thanks Bulldog I guess I can only try it and see if will work ok with a normal long toplink. Cheers Monte

Ok, I've taken off the long brackets. Vic can you tell me what would happen if you just connected up that rotary hoe with a normal top link off short brackets? I don't have any real need to fold the rotary hoe up behind the tractor like that and if it just means it will rise and fall just like...

Thanks Bulldog and Vic Vic that is exactly what I have. It really helped to have a clear picture of what the short ones look like. Looking at it I think the quickest/cheapest way for me to sort this is to unbolt them and take them to the local engineering shop to be cut down and have those...

OK, I think I've found the part number but I'd like a confirmation of anyone can as my PDF parts list for the L175 isn't really clear with it's arrows. The part number I found is 99511-22140 Holder Top Link. Thanks Monte

This happened to my L1500DT and I got it recored for around $350 Aus.The guy that recored it wasn't all that impressed with the quality of the original core and said the recore would last much longer. Cheers Monte

Hi Not sure what it's meant to be called but it sticks out from the tractor and the top link fits between the holes in the steel plates so I'm calling it a that. My L1500DT came with a top linkage connection point that sticks out about a foot from the back of the tractor. I've been told that's...
