Iseki TX1410 & TX1510 filters and filter set
Iseki TX1410 & TX1510 filters and filter set
Clean filters are the cheapest life insurance for your Iseki TX1410 or TX1510. In this blog you'll read which filters these tractors have, how often you should replace them, and — very important with this series — what to watch out for regarding the length of the air filter.
Suitable for the entire series: TX1410, TX1410F (4WD), TX1510 and TX1510F (4WD).
Which filters does the TX1410 / TX1510 have?
The TX1410 and TX1510 have three filters involved in regular maintenance, plus a filter in the hydraulic system:
| Filter | Function | Interval |
|---|---|---|
| Oil filter | Filters the engine oil | With every oil change (approx. 100 hours) |
| Fuel filter | Keeps dirt and water out of the fuel system | During maintenance / when starting issues occur |
| Air filter (dry) | Protects the engine from dust | Clean every 100 hours, replace approx. every 300–400 hours |
| Hydraulic suction filter | Protects the hydraulic pump | Check / clean if the lift is slow |
Note: air filter length varies
This is the most important point to watch for with the TX1410 and TX1510. Within the TX series, there are two versions of the air filter with different lengths. The newer TX1410/TX1510 (the series without a rear PTO shaft) often uses the shorter air filter. This is also the only part that may differ within a standard filter set.
Not sure which one you have? Measure your old air filter or check the serial number before ordering. If you're ordering a filter set, choose the variant that matches your air filter length — that way you avoid the element not quite fitting into the housing.
The air filter: cleaning and timely replacement
According to the schedule, you can clean the dry air filter every 100 hours (carefully tap it out or blow it clean from the inside with compressed air), but an element doesn't last forever. Replace it at the latest around 300–400 hours, or sooner if it's visibly dirty or damaged. A clogged air filter causes black smoke, loss of power, and higher fuel consumption — exactly the complaints listed in the troubleshooting table of the manual.
Fuel filter and starting problems
On these older diesels, a dirty fuel filter is a classic cause of poor starting and rough running. If there's air or dirt in the fuel system, you'll need to bleed the system after replacing the filter. So if in doubt, replace the fuel filter right away — it's an inexpensive part with a big impact.
The hydraulic filter (suction filter)
The hydraulic system contains a suction filter that protects the hydraulic pump. On Iseki/Bolens versions, this is often a mesh screen that can be cleaned. If the lift becomes slow or weak, a dirty suction filter is one of the first things to check — often even before you consider the pump.
These tractors have the Mitsubishi K3 engine. More about the engine: Mitsubishi K3A–K3F engine: maintenance, oil and filters.
