    Dosn't anyone have a project going? Seem like there is more take about the PT than what it does.

    More torque for my Power trac?

    I started working on this set up before but at the time I didn稚 have much use for it. I recently have had a couple of jobs where I could have used more pulling power. Just a bit more torque would have made the difference. I know this set up will be controversial and could cause damage to...

    What About An Electric Power Trac?????

    Two speed modification for PT 422/425

    Started work on the two speed modification so thought a new tread would be appropriate. There is not a lot of room here to install 8 outlets from the tram pump. In fact there is not an over abundance of room anywhere in the engine compartment.

    Wheel motor squeal (help)

    Has anyone ever heard what sound like a brake squealing while under way in their PT. It doesn't do in all the time. I fear it may be a wheel motor. Any Ideas or experiences?
