Hey, that's a great prognosis. Pretty much all the debris should have been contained in the crankcase for the pump.

Good luck,

Peter

Thanks J_J I read it all. I think I will just keep the standard oil in the system.
BobRip I to have an insulated garage and I don't think it ever gets under 47-50 degrees in the winter. So my PT is not to hard to start in the winter. I called PT today to check on the pump and they told me my "swash coupler broke loose and smashed into the pistons and broke them to". I think that is how they said it, I probably got that wrong. I was also told it was a basket case. It will be finished tomorrow and shipped back to me. Terry told be everything was isolated inside the pump so nothing should be in the lines but I should change the filter to be safe. It was only the 2nd one they have seen broke this way, he said they're a tough little pump (Hmmm mine wasn't). But it will be fixed woohoo. Now I have to put it all back together. Thanks everyone for the help and insight.

Hey, that's better news than we expected. Hope it goes back together easily for you.

coolconnection did they give you a cost estimate on the repair or replacement pump? In my pt I have rotella hydraulic oil in mine now in the hydraulics, it seems to do the job. I don't know if that was a good choice or a bad choice, but it hasn't caused any adverse effects yet.

They put it under warranty repair. I am so glad of that I don't know what it would have cost otherwise. Also I decided after reading many threads on this that I will just stick to the 10w-40 motor oil in my hydraulics.

I know this probably isn't the right thread for this but I have 1 PT filter left. Did any of you find a good filter in the 10 micron range that fits and works well other than the PT filters for a PT 425? I would like to find one locally and the TSC filters I found were around the 25 micron range so I don't want them. If you have found any where did you find them? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I get mine (1445) at Napa, but I don't know the number for the 425. You might ask Terry.

All the best,

Peter

When I did a search I found the following:

I have found different hydraulic filters are available locally at farm equipment dealers. I am currently using a purolator H32010 filter for the hydraulics, purolator assured me it is a 10 micron that power trac recommends. The original hydr. filter on my power trac 422 was a gresen K22001. I have not been able to find replacement oil filters for the robin engine in my 422 , but I can buy them from a local garden tractor dealer.

here it is, sorry for the delay!T
NAPA 1551, make sure it is rated at 10 micron.

 

[ponytug]

Bob- that's the Napa filter that my 1445 uses. Maybe one size does fit all...

By the way, the 1551 is a 10 micron filter; the 1553 would be the 30 micron equivalent.

All the best,

Peter

Thanks, I will look some of them up. I just use regular oil filters on my 25 hp Robin engine. I am using a Walmart cheapy. Those cheap filters at Walmart I think are AC Delco or something but I know they are not Frams. I change it every 50 hours religiously. Here are some cross referenced #s I found for the filters: STP S4967, Fram PH4967, fleetguard LF779, wix 51394, AC Delco PF-1220. I talked to a few people and found that there is really no difference in lawn and garden filters to the automotive ones. I have used them for years. I don't want to spend $12 on the same filter I can get elsewhere for $4.

The 1850 takes a Wix 51759.

My 1845 takes the Napa 1759 (Wix 51759) which I think is a physically larger filter than the 1551. I would have thought the 1445 and 1845 would use the same hydro filter.
