Just be careful what unit type/brand you buy. If it has copper heating and cooling lines for the heat exchanger you will be replacing it in 5 years or so. Freon does not like copper and it will erode the copper eventually and put pin holes in the systems copper lines. Some manufacturers brag...

I have spacers on my massey 1723E (similar in size to your 1025R) plus I have the wheels fluid filled. This helps quite a bit and feels more solid on the slopes. I tested it on the slopes I mow by rocking it back and forth to see what it would do (nothing was on fellas). It did great but get...

Thanks everyone, sold it yesterday. That was that last remaining parts I had left from my old power Trac. I hope all your power Tracs are working well for you.

I still have the above front loader bracket and I also have 4 of the smaller female hydraulic connectors all for $50. I want them gone. If I don't hear anything from this forum I am just going to scrap it at the metal recycling because I have no use for it. Contact me if your interested. It is...

Once someone places an order do they ever call the customer? I placed an order and got the order confirmation, is that all there is. I gave all the information they asked, for the wicked tooth bar from the video Travis made. Is that it until I receive it delivered to my home?

I see you posted this awhile ago. I replaced all my bulbs with LEDs. They use 12 volt bayonet type. You will have to match up the bayonet style to the type of bulbs you will need. I think some of mine took 1157 style bulbs. I got some for my headlights but wish they were brighter. If you have a...

I am on paved surfaces and I didn稚 notice any slippage. I don稚 have a backhoe but my rear tires are filled. I have a front snow plow on my front end loader. I was pushing about 9 inches of snow. I got a pack of 12 blades and only used one. That groover gets pretty hot so wear protective...

Rear grooved tire, Older Ideal Tire groover and then the front tire grooved.

Yeah had a bit of light in my eyes too so I put some blinders on them. I love the led lighting though.I don’t have a lot of money invested in them so I won’t be crying if I break one. The turn signals would be another story.

When I moved my turn signals to the inside I made two small brackets and mounted them over the old lighting holes using existing hardware. I added LED lights to the outside of the rops and boy are they bright. $17 for a pair off of eBay so not worried if I break or damage them being on the...

This is what I made for my power Trac when I had it. The attachment plate has since been cut off and the forks welded to a SSQA plate so the THUMB can be used on it. It is made so the grapple is removable.

I also looked at all the same brands you did plus one more, the RK models - I just can稚 get past their FEL control lever. It just looks like an after thought. I had the Kioti as my first choice but the dealer refused to put a SSQA on the FEL and really didn稚 know anything about a third...

This is my setup, my plow has a wheel kit installed on it from the manufacturer. It also has a Kevlar rubber lip kit on the cutting edge. It’s has been on there for ten years now and it still doesn’t need to be flipped over and use the other side edge. I converted it over this year for my new...

Hube2 I bought these clips off of eBay. They work great and keep that seatbelt from ratcheting tighter and tighter as you wear it. They just snap on your seatbelt and lock into place with a little clip on it.

I like that brush guard. I’ve been looking on this site to see is anyone has made one for the gc1700 series. There are 2 things I want for my little tractor, a brush guard and a filter/hydro fan cover. I am going to hopefully purchase the hydraulic filter skid plate soon but may have to make my...

Hello all. Not a new member to TBN but a new owner of a GC1723E. Was a leftover 2019 model purchased on May 1. I have 19 hours on it now and liking it a lot. I saw a post about moving the roll bar lights to the inside and that was the first thing I did. Using the open holes I fabricated...

I think this guy did too as well. I will miss it, it was a nimble thing. I just missed the dealer support being so far away. I have this thing if someone wants it for a reasonable price and picks it up. I didn't know I had it and found it when I was cleaning the garage. It is heavy. Nothing...

Well gentlemen and ladies I am parting with my PT425. If anyone is interested in buying it let me know. I am selling it with a 60" mower deck and the light material bucket. I am going to purchase something a little larger for the tasks I need it for. I don't know for certain what yet, lots of...

Has anyone added or made an extension for an attachment? I have a situation where my hillside is to steep to mow but I can drive up a certain distance and then I can't go no more because of soil conditions. I just need like 3 feet more reach with the mower deck and I would be looking pretty. I...

Anyone know the size of or name of the hydraulic motor on the boom mower. Was thinking about making something similar for my hill side that is to steep to mow by hand for this years winter project. I have been using a saber samurai sickle bar and it works but not the cut I am looking for...

Nice grapple you got there. They do come in useful. I was cleaning up the brush piles from a dead maple tree. Neighbor had a cherry picker and took it down for me because he wanted the bigger wood from it. I just wanted it gone. Took a quick picture of one of the last piles to clean up...

I'll add mine. Hydraulic lever, so much easier to use with my homemade grapple.

Ok just to clarify i do have the 425 so it could be different but I have had that pump in and out 4 times and it definetly looks like your pump as well . I am pretty good at it now. The little cap that MossRoad is pointing at is what I am talking about. On the bottom of the pump if it is like...

Well I have made a few upgrades over the last few years. I have them on other threads but if you want them all together I will put some pictures up. I am still working on my sickle bar. I am calling it phase 2 now. Have to make some changes so it will mow my embankments better and make it...

Took a few more photos now I have it together. It has a 30 inch opening which I am happy about. I made the stand so it tilts back 5 degrees so it has a larger opening but I was worried if I went 10 degrees would not touch the forks when closed. Maybe somewhere in between but it is done now...

I don't want to start a new thread since I started this one long ago. After a knee surgery I figure I am not getting any younger so I am going for it. I am making this grapple. I have come across a nice, never used but could be a few years old Greensmachines Thumb from a fella in PA. His...

Well I finally got my tractor up and running after the main pump failure. My grass was so tall and I was pushing it hard and belt came off so I took a picture of it with the size on it. It's still the factory belt for my 60" deck.

Using my power-trac 425 today to move some wood mulch around and I was backing up and it wouldn't stop. Thank goodness I was going slow but no neutral, no forward and NO STOP! It is stuck in reverse, tram pedal doesn't do anything but make it go faster in reverse. I had the tram pump replaced a...

This is something a made some years back and it turned out to be one of my favorite attachments. It's from a steiner.

Anyone have this problem? I disconnect/unhook my mower deck. Turn the tractor back on with nothing on the quick attach and the lift lever in neutral position the lift arms start to slowly rise up on their own. I checked several times by moving the lever but it still rises on its own. If you had...

Well just getting my attachments put away and ready for next spring and took off the mower blades on my 60" deck for the pt 425 to sharpen and found that this was probably the last year for them. I am kind of hard on them, I mow sticks and other debris thats in my way. Well I looked up the...

Pallet forks don't get much use and to me seems like they would work better than using the bucket. Any ideas on designs?

I know this probably has be asked before many times but which hydraulic connector is the 'in' and which one is the 'outlet'? I got lucky the first time I made an attachment and it worked fine but now I will need to know. I did a search and nothing turned up so now I am asking is the male...

So has anyone gotten an e-mail from TractorByNet.com to write a review on their tractor make and model yet? There is only one PT review so far. I don't have time now but I think I will do one. I just don't like that they post your name on the site.

Has anyone had any problems with the newer rear mower deck wheels from Power-trac? Just one summer on my deck and the rear wheels are waring out. The wheels wobble all over the place and rub the deck and the bolts are also worn and need replaced. Has anyone found any wheels with some type of...

Has anyone on here ever looked at their quick attach on their tractor and does it look flat? I have only 30 hours on my pt425 and I took off the mower the other day and I noticed the quick attach plate on the tractor is bent a little bit. That part that connects to attachments. I haven't...

OK why a fire extinguisher? Is there pretty much a root cause for the PT catching fire? Could it be from the chintzy clear fuel hose? Should this hose be replaced? Or is it mostly from the engine? These robin engines are rated pretty good in quality control. Now don't drill me, I see some of...

I was reading many older threads and one caught my interest. While in the float position such as mowing, can you use the front tilt to keep the quick attach straight. I notice when in float no hydraulic lift is applied but if you bump the lever left or right it will operate the front tilt...

Hello everyone, I'm new on here but have been reading for some time now. I just purchased a new PT 425 and it still has less then 1 hour on it. I have been reading all sorts of things people have done to their power tracs, good and bad. I am selling a steiner 420 tractor because it is...
