What hardness of lead comes with this pencil?

It comes with an H. I replaced this with my preference. An excellent pencil for sharp, clear lines.

What is the difference between this (PG1013) and the PG1013E?

I think they are same. PG1013 is for selling in Japan. PG1013E(Maybe, E means for English persons) is for selling in the US.

how do you refill leads into it?

Pull off the end cap that exposes the eraser, then put out the eraser and drop the lead into the opening.

why does it NOT accept new lead? what am i doing wrong when trying to add new lead that was made for it?

Hello. The Pentel Graphgear 1000 comes in a variety of lead sizes. .3,.4..5,.7 and .9 mm. Please make sure you have the correct size for the pencil you have. Once you do, I load the lead from the top by removing the cap, then the eraser. Lastly, I drop a piece of lead inside of it. I work the action until the new piece has gone through and ready to write/draw. I then place a few more into the top and put the eraser and cap back on. I hope it works for you, because this is a very nice mechanical pencil. If not, then I would resort to the other suggestions, which I have never had to do with this mechanical pencil, but I have on many others. Good luck.
