When I bought my pt they had one at the pt factory that they had took the loader arms off and replaced it with a forklift mast. It was an older model, I don't know if they still have it or not but they were using it.
I don't think it is made by Power Trac for a few reasons.
1. Dana axles. PT uses hydraulic drive motors on each wheel.
2. Drive shaft between front and rear sections. See above comment about hydraulic drive motors.
3. Square tubing on ROPS. All the PTs I have seen have round ROPS tubing, although I have to admit I never looked close at the larger units.
4. Kubota engine. PT has put other engines in older units besides Deutz, but not since at least 2001 when I bought my Kohler.

The 1850 has square tubing on the ROPS.
