Left front wheel motor on my 425 started to leak at 38 hrs. Not a bad leak just a drip that makes a mess on the wheel.
Called PT to order hydralic filters and wanted to discuss the wheel motor problem. Kieth took my order for filters and we discussed the wheel motor. When he found out it was a warranty issue he dropped it like a hot potato. Told me he would discuss it with Terry and get back with me that day.
Well the filters arrived in two days. Has been a week and no word from PT. Had the same problem with my treadle problem saying they would check with the engineers etc. and promising to call back and you never here from them. Power Tracs customer service in the warranty department really needs a good overhaul. When I bought the machine they assured me trouble shooting over the phone would not be a problem. I guess after they get the money and you drive away things change.
Anyway, I removed the wheel a couple of times to clean up the mess. I ran the pt for a few hrs yesterday mowing and loading and the dripping of oil at the wheel motor seems to have stopped. The question is: Has anybody had wheel motor leaks that stop and start and what kind of repairs are necessary.
