Northeastern Maryland, taken earlier today with around 18" on the ground. Snow is about wrapped up now with a total of around 30". Plowed the 500' driveway twice with the PT, tough going both times, just a bit of clean up to do in the morning...

Alright, I'm stumped here... Started mowing this afternoon, made it about 3 laps around the yard and the PT425 just dies. No lugging or sputtering, just all stop on the engine as if I turned the key off. I turned the PTO switch off, won't turn over, no clicking, nothing. Checked the voltage...

Cool, when you called PT, you just got the shaft part right? Not the whole assembly. I was trying to hold one of my spindle assemblies together for the rest of the season, but when mowing the other day, the upper bearing totally disintegrated. After disassembling, it didn't look good. Did...

Hopefully it's something else, but I believe my 425 tram pump is on the fritz. Nearing the end of my mowing chores for the day I lost about 50% or so of my forward and reverse speed. Flipped off the PTO circuit right away to take load off of the engine. The treadle seems to work properly, but...

Engine is a Robin EH72D 25hp gasoline V-twin. I was out mowing grass for the first time this year, and after about an hour of mowing the engine lost power all of a sudden, and dramatically at that. I've been running it all winter moving firewood and plowing snow, so its not a winterizing issue...

I was out mowing grass for the first time this year, and after about an hour of mowing the engine lost power all of a sudden, and dramatically at that. I've been running it all winter moving firewood and plowing snow, so its not a winterizing issue with the fuel. Also, today was rather chilly...

Here is a cheap alternative to the rubber lip kit for the PT snow blade. I couldn't justify the expense of the PT kit when I purchased in the spring, but I needed something to protect my blacktop during the coming winter. All you need is an old tire and some bolts/nuts/washers. I'm sure this...

I finally got around to moving the aux. pto lever on the 425 today. I wanted the lever on the left side of the steering wheel similar to KentT's mod, so I used his as a basis. Pretty much the only difference from KentT's is that I retained the factory lever (although cut shorter) and linked my...

Has anyone tried the 29 or 45 inch utility grapples listed on the PT website under new attachments? I am planning a 425 purchase in the next couple of months and am trying to decide on what attachments to get. I'm definitely getting the light material bucket and I wonder if the utility grapple...
