I ended up finding that the stock battery is a 45 series battery. Put one from Napa in it, their number 7545. I got around 6 or so years on the stock battery, and have an external fan on it to help with cooling, and also 4 LED lights on the front that I use very seldom, but with the external and...

I am looking for a battery for my 425 before the cold gets here, and I had to jump it yesterday, as it doesn't get run much lately. Noticed that it is only 9" wide, as there are two bolts it fits between under the gas tank in the front, and has the hold downs on the sides, on both bottom sides...

Here are a couple I took in the past, maybe it will give you an idea.

I am trying to find some help in taking apart a lift assist cylinder on my Hustler X-One Mower. It has no flats, or holes for a spade wrench, and it is a cylinder that has the pump built on to the end of it. Only thing on it is there is a hole (of which I thought could be a oil fill hole, and...

Here is my little Power Trac 425 Plowing some.

Here are a few thoughts after I did my second cleanup. The first round went well and there was about 10-12" and could plow it well, no crabbing or such. I have no chains on the machine, and after today don't think I will put them on there. I could see where it spun a lot on the tires, but a lot...

This is Weight bracket and hitch I made for the back of the PT 425. I wanted to try it in the Winter with Snow, to see if it might help not having to chain up. These were weights I used to use on the back of my John Deere 318 and have a total weight of 250 pounds. It is a standard size 2x2"...

Changes to the Subaru Exhaust Josh and a few others had been asking me what I had done to my Exhaust on my Subaru. At first I did the wrap on the stock exhaust, added the fan and all but I still felt that there could be more done to help it. Below I have added a few pictures to show the...

What color would you call the Black Paint with is being used on the Newer PT425 Hood and other parts that are Black. It looks to me to be a Satin Black, or a Flat Black, but would like to try to match it as close as possible, without having to repaint all the parts.

I think this is the one I got a KD 2029 Band Wrench

I know this is an old post, but thought it might help some people out that have a PT425 out there. I know, or lets say I hope it was the correct point it directed me to on my 2015 machine. I took the cap off the top, and hooked the line up and ran it into the tank, took the spark plugs out...

Another thing you might want to think about is making a lever to come up off of your aux. hydraulics lever. It is a pain in the butt having to reach down and move it for things other then using it to release the attachments. When you are using a 4 in 1, or the mini hoe it really comes in handy...

Here is the ditch to the back of my side yard,and it almost has a slight uphill to it, so to make enough drop to let the water flow, I had to have a friend with a skid steer and LONG bucket flip it all up to the right, then I took my John Deere at the time and moved a lot of dirt and stumps and...

I know from reading on here that I probably shouldn't do it, but I was trying to dig some stumps out this week, and after digging 4' down all around them, cutting roots as big as 8-10" and "Think" I got all them cut, the stumps would still not budge. SO, I have decided to try one of the PT...

It is about time to do my first oil change on the 425, and I picked a filter up when I was down in Tazwell when I picked the machine up. I was looking on the net for some more to purchase, as they are usually cheaper when you buy a few at a time. I am trying to figure out what the difference...
