Iseki-Bolens Manuals & User Guides

The Iseki-Bolens brand refers to a distinct lineup of compact tractors and outdoor power equipment produced through a manufacturing partnership between the Bolens Corporation and Iseki & Co., Ltd. Active primarily during the 1970s and 1980s, this collaboration introduced Iseki’s robust Japanese diesel engineering to the North American market under the established Bolens nameplate.

Known for their reliability and high-torque diesel engines, Iseki-Bolens tractors—such as the G-series and TX-series—remain popular among vintage tractor enthusiasts and small property owners. Although the joint venture has ended, with Bolens now a brand under MTD Products and Iseki operating as an independent manufacturer, these machines are still serviced today through a network of aftermarket parts suppliers and dedicated owner communities.

• Where can I find parts for my Iseki-Bolens tractor?

  Since the partnership is historical, parts are typically sourced through specialized aftermarket dealers, vintage tractor salvage yards, or third-party suppliers online.

• How do I identify my tractor model?

  Model numbers are usually found on a metal identification plate located on the frame, engine block, or near the transmission housing (e.g., G152, G174, or TX series).

• Are Iseki and Bolens the same company?

  No. Iseki is a Japanese manufacturer that built tractors for Bolens (an American brand) to sell in the US market during the 1970s and 80s.
