I've got a 1500D (D=4WD - same tractor otherwise). I run a 4' tiller on mine, tilling a couple of gardens about 40x100' each. Does a great job.

Thanks for the reply Len, sorry it took me so long to get back to you. There is no groove, but there is indeed play however. The play is not side to side but strictly up and down. It looks like I might need to add a couple of washers under the pitman arm to eliminate, but would this throw off my pinion alignment?

Daniel, I own a Yanmar 1500D which has approximately 18hp with 15hp to the PTO. It runs my 60" finish mower no problems. I've got a 48" tiller which it handles well also. Oh yeah, and the 4WD helps if you're going to use a turnover plow (weight the front-end good). Lastly, I've got a loader on the way!<br>

This tractor is mid to late 70's model and it's been a great tractor for me. You might like a newer model better however as they've made some improvements: powershift transmission vs. gear, a smoother 3 cyl. engine, etc. But for the price, a 4WD and the 15HP at the PTO recommended previously, you can't beat a 1500D.
