The older PTs came with a 3 point top link like this : Top Link 13 It replaces the round bar link that connects the top of the attachment plate to the tilt dump swivel point on the loader arm. The screws allow you to shorten the length of the rod which will bring the back of the mower down...

I prefer more than 2 tines on a log grapple. Smaller stuff tends to twist more in the 2 tine grapples and slips out. I added a tine to mine to make it a 3 tine. With a mechanical grapple I often grabbed around the log instead of trying to dig the points into the log. The extra tines give a...

had to cancel the trip. will repost when I reschedule.

Glad you found the problem. With the benefit of hindsight, were there any warning signs prior to failure (strange noise, smoke, power loss etc.) or did it give out without warning? FWIW, my brother has advised me to only run the Kohler brand engine oil in Kohler engines. The place he works...

I have done a couple of engine swaps on PTs. It is pretty easy. Power trac can set you up with any parts you may need to adapt a new engine. Word of warning when installing the 90 degree oil drain elbow: do not overtighten or you will crack the block. The following Kohler engine spec numbers...

Have you checked the fuel line between the tank and the gas filter?

Freight costs is often a deal breaker for ordering additional attachments from power trac. It turns out that a number of PT attachments are mailable by usps or ups. I recently got a dirt bucket for a pt425 delivered by the postman. The shipping method is determined by weight. Under 150 lbs =...

Dont know much about this broom other than it is 5' wide and has hydraulic angle. It appears to be complete and intact. If no one is interested in it, I will convert it from belt drive to hydraulic and use it. Thinking $ 350 but feel free to shoot me an offer. About 1 hour south of...

Forklift attachment with a universal mini skid steer / Dingo attachment plate. Lifts 2500 lbs up to 7'10" high. Asking $ 800. Located about 1 hour south of minneapolis. 612 306 5992

I used zip ties of various colors on the hydraulic lines then sketched the ports with the corresponding colors to when I swapped my pump.

Older Power Tracs have a drive cable from the foot pedal back to the hydraulic pump. My 1430 loves to break the 1/4" bolt that attaches the cable to the pump. If yours has a drive cable, you are looking for a lever on the right side (as you are sitting on the machine) of the pump under the...

I have measured mine in a similar manner. My 425 was built in 2004. My preferred wall block weigh 82 lbs each. To move block around the jobsite I typically break them down into pallets of 9. Six block tight to the QA plate and 3 block further out. 738 lbs plus the weight of the pallet and...

A 425 is rated for 800lbs, but will lift 1000lbs. At least mine will. For a 1300lb machine, that is an exeptional lift capacity to weight ratio. I have set boulders in retaining walls with this machine that were most likely pushing 1200lbs. The "PT Pucker" allows you to lift more than the...
