Is there a need for an aftermarket manufacturer for Power-Trac spare parts and components? I had sent in a post previously regarding used equipment availability and thank you all for the responses. The company where I work has a 422 (or 425 not sure) which is used for grounds keeping etc....
I never really paid much attention to it except that I am erecting a steel arch building at my home which got me thinking. I had originally thought that a Bobcat or similiar unit would be nice to have for light excavation and other duties- however I kept tripping over this small green tractor in our parking lot and started asking about it. Everyone that I have spoke with loves these things except that they are a bit pricey.
That is what brings about my question about an alternate supplier for parts and accesories. We have 2 companies at our location - 1 that builds custom machinery and GE Steam Turbine spare parts, and the division that I run that is a OEM of showering and filtration equipment for the pulp and paper industry and also supplies Direct Replacement (tm) spare parts for other manufacturer's equipment. We specialize in accurately reverse engineering (and typically improving the design of) hard to find or overpriced components.
As far as I am aware there are no patents associated with the Power-Trac units. We would need to review this further however if we pursue.
Just checking to see what kind of potential there is first before doing a full-blown intellectual property investigation.
Please feel free to visit our web sites at www.auxprosys.com and www.seeleymachine.com for additional information or email me directly at steve@auxprosys.com
