Abstract: Generalized KdV hierarchies associated by Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction to grade one regular semisimple elements from non-equivalent Heisenberg subalgebras of a loop algebra $$ are studied. The graded Heisenberg subalgebras containing such elements are labelled by the regular conjugacy classes in the Weyl group $$ of the simple Lie algebra $G$. A representative $$ of a regular conjugacy class can be lifted to an inner automorphism of $G$ given by $hatw=expleft(2ipimad{I}_0/might)$, where $I_0$ is the defining vector of an $s{l}_2$ subalgebra of $G$.The grading is then defined by the operator $d_{m,I_0}=mlambdadoverdlambda+mad{I}_0$ and any grade one regular element $Lambda$ from the Heisenberg subalgebra associated to $[w]$ takes the form $Lambda=(C_{+}+lambda{C}_{-})$, where $[I_0,C_{-}]=-(m-1)C_{-}$ and $C_{+}$ is included in an $s{l}_2$ subalgebra containing $I_0$. The largest eigenvalue of $mad{I}_0$ is $(m-1)$ except for some cases in $F_4$, $E_{6,7,8}$. We explain how these Lie algebraic results follow from known results and apply them to construct integrable systems.If the largest $mad{I}_0$ eigenvalue is $(m-1)$, then using any grade one regular element from the Heisenberg subalgebra associated to $[w]$ we can construct a KdV system possessing the standard $W$-algebra defined by $I_0$ as its second Poisson bracket algebra. For $G$ a classical Lie algebra, we derive pseudo-differential Lax operators for those non-principal KdV systems that can be obtained as discrete reductions of KdV systems related to $g{l}_n$. Non-abelian Toda systems are also considered.
