Nice work 2 many. Couldnt u could still weld in a receiver tube to the side of the center post? I don't think being very slightly off center for the receiver tube will affect it significantly. Also, as suggested above the adapter angle is a compromise. The curl is somewhat limited at full...

Nice setup. Obviously u have way more fabrication skills than me. Glad u are moving ahead with your project and I am looking forward to seeing your build!

Welcome! This forum has been a fantastic resource for me. Good luck with your new machine.

That's right 2many--no turning back--full steam ahead! Finished up the angles and cleaned up some unnecessary bits of the 3pt. portion of the ssqa. Moving onto the bottom support angle iron. Bought some 4 by 4 angle iron at the local metal shop. There were very nice to me and cut this piece to...

So if your implement plate is 44.5in wide like in this diagram at the top and your ssqa plate on your machine is only 39.5in wide at the top do u need to weld some blocks on the sides of the implement plate at the top bracket to make the spacing less wide at the top to keep it from moving side...

2many rocks. Yes, I have some triangles leftover from cutting the side supports that I am planning on using to gusset things up. Stay tuned.... Yes, the angles that I cut into the side supports allow for what I think is a good position for the PTplate and they are actually welded up nicely. I...

Now that the top has been cut off I can find the angle for the PT plate. I want the PT plate to weld flush to the top ssqa tube crossmember and I would like some set back to the bottom of the plate. If I leave the bottom portion of the 3 pt hitch the angle is just about right. So I am going to...

I am using my cardboard template to fit the location of the PT adapter plate. I cut the middle out of the cardboard adapter where it is too big to fit inside the 3pt side metal portions of the ssqa. I think I want the top of the PT plate about even with the top tube crossmember of the ssqa. This...

Started by cutting the top portion of the 3 pt to ssqa out of the way. Don't think it will benefit me to be there.

Started the C.A.D design for the adapter plate--cardboard aided design---haha!!! That cracks me up every time I hear it/say it. The PT plate is heavy so this should help me figure out the position on the ssqa alot easier.

For those enquiring about the adapters. 1) Amazon: YITAMOTOR 3 Point Quick Tach Adapter Universal Skid Steer Quick Attach Conversion Adapter Fit for 3 Point Cat 1 Tractor. Cost me 313.00 including shipping. 2) Powertrac 1460 plate. Cost me 600.00 including shipping.

I am thinking the top of my Powertrac adapter plate should be just below the angled "hook" portion of the ssqa-just about where the red line is. I think I will cut off the top of the 3 pt hitch portion of the ssqa plate. If I lower the PT adapter plate some, it looks like I would cut away less...

Thought I would start a specific post for this to follow my build. Here is where I am at this point. Bought the powertrac adapter plate directly from powertrac. This plate is for a Powertrac 1460: Bought the 3 pt hitch to ssqa adapter from Amazon. Starting to line up the adapter plate to...

Here is the adapter plate attached directly to my SSQA fork implement. I have an add a grapple attachment that slips over the forks. No problem with lifting capacity- hehe

M5040: Appreciate u posting this big time and the photo on page 1 of this thread. I am starting the adapter plate journey for the 2nd time. 2many rocks: I did what you are talking about by attaching a PT plate directly to a fork attachment a few years ago. I thought I was done with the...

Well those reply are very helpful, TU. Ordered an adapter plate from Terry at PT today. Going to get the 3 point hitch plate to SSQA as recommended on here in previous post and see how can make that work by welding on the PT adapter plate? I am seeing SSQA attachment prices going down so I will...

Looking for post hole digger and 12 and 24 inch augers. Brush cutter. Concrete mixer. Going to start the pole barn project soon. I am in central Va. If I can't find used PT attachments at a good cash price, I will build an adapter plate and get SSQA attachments. I have a stump grinder and a 4...

Nice picture mossroad. You look like a professional bullrider!!yeeeee--hawwww. Regarding the tires, I would find your local farm/equipment tire shop and have them tube it for you. My local guy put a tube in my 1460 tire about a year ago and it has held up great. My plan is to milk these tires...

Nesher machine is not lithium. I was expecting lithium but saw in the specs it is sealed lead acid. Prolly not a big fire risk. I have an electric sealed lead acid mini kei style truck I use to drive small hand tools/supplies around when doing small maintenece jobs/tree cutting. Happy with it.

Wanting to do this for my PT1460 as my fuel tank is slowly rusting on the inside. To keep it from being a problem, I added another fuel filter prior to the duetz factory fuel filter. I am not totally happy with my current solution. Good to have you back!

Thank you for this. I will need a post hole digger in the future. I didn't realize the PT post hole diggers couldn't go in reverse? Did you need to add additional valving?

I had a PT adapter plate welded up to a ssqa forklift implement. Cost me 400 for the welding. I thought that was reasonable?? I put a little angle into it so it would have a nice range of motion as my PT is designed with an angle at the PT implement connection mount. See attached photo and you...

WOW! Awesome looking building woodland. Clean design/lines and cool looking cladding. Sry u are having a little water intrusion. I really enjoy posting here cause you all bring it with great responses and unique solutions to problems.

Thinking 48ft wide by 36ft deep. Any thoughts on the height? I was thinking 12ft minimum inside with 9 ft tall doors. Also looking for a pole barn builder that will travel for work in central Va.

Power company came to trim some trees for me. I love grabbing huge piles of brush to move to my burn pile.

They could offer a kit builder package and then offer kit building classes at the factory? That way they may be able to get around the emissions and the owners could understand how to repair their machines. I have been promoting for a Powertrac owners meet at the factory and workshops for years...

PT1460 makes for a great car/truck mover. Have this box truck that I use to store a bunch of stuff in. Needed to move it out of the way for some tree cutting. Box truck is packed with metal tube and is very heavy. Of course, it doesn't run right now. PT to the rescue. Used a tire over the PT...

Marvel mystery oil seems to work for me? Have an Excursion with over 100k and a little valve train noise. Used the MMO and it runs like a sewing machine now-can hardly tell the engine is running. I put MMO in everything now-including the PT1460. Good luck.

Getting colder! Hot tub time. Getting pad ready with PT loader PT switch to forks and moving tub into place. What? Where is the tub? OH, here we go. Need to get in the tub. Deck project was alot of work. FINALLY, Time to enjoy it!

Pic of saw in first picture of this post resting on the back of machine. Glad u are OK.

Deck coming along nicely. Working on Hot Tub area. Had some extra stone and PT1460 is doing what it does best-moving material. Can't complain about working in 100 degree heat if I am getting ready for fall/winter to get into 100 degree water. haha

Appreciate the compliment on the work. I do have the butyl tape on the ledger board and up the house flashing. When the house was built I first ran very wide flashing across the back of the house before the deck ledger/siding was installed. I knew I was going to build the deck later and having...

Rolling joists on the deck project. PT doing the heavy lifting for me.

My machine is 15 years old with about 1000 hours and doesn't seem to have any issues at this joint. Some grease has run down on that blue sleeve material and I just leave it to lube that area. I also try not to fully articulate and pinch the joint if I can avoid it.

Congrats! Looks awesome. Rented a stump grinder with those teeth. Thought they worked well.

Portable pressure washer is what I used to clean out the engine bay when I had trouble finding a leak and my machine was far from my garage. Ryobi portable pressure washer. Link below. It is battery powered and water is drawn out of a 5 gallon bucket. Good luck with your repair. RYOBI ONE+ HP...

The concrete mixer was fantastic and I used the PT to keep the bags close so I wouldn't have to carry them too far. The concrete mixer is called a Mudmixer. They have a website. Very nice for pouring footings!! Rented it for 100 bucks. It was definitely worth it. Regarding my black wheels, I...

Deck project in full PowerTracManiac mode. How does 1 person do 40 total bags of concrete in 14 holes in 1.5 hours? (See photos)

Its your lucky day porkchop! I have the day off and I am starting my deck build project. Real world results from a 15 year old machine (PT1460). First photo is a log I cut to make room for my orchard area (14 feet long and 25 inch in diameter) Second photo is an actual weighted test. I...

I think the sp500 forestry mulcher design is a better for the bigger trees (coming down from the top) than the rut terminator brush cutter design? Guess it would depend on if you think trees will be slowing you down or if the heavy brush will be slowing you down?

Parts and labor-100 Shipping-60 No more oil on my gravel driveway-Priceless

Haha! Dont fret, this will not be going away forever. My next step will be to back off the nut and try a little grinding to see if that works......

I am happy to report a WIN! I sent the steering cylindar back to PT. A week later it is back and installed. I just put the cylindar back on and then the hoses back on. Slowly brought the tractor up to speed. No priming of cylindar was required. Slowly started turning the tractor little by little...

No luck so far. Taking a break from it as it is not a high priority.

Reached the limit of my capabilities. Terry at PT told me to get a chisel in the gap and I put a bottle jack on the end with a chain per ponytugs excellent sugesstion. Disc still not off. I asked Terry if there was an additional retainer of some sort that I was missing and he didn't think so...

I had a similar issue on my 1460. Felt like bogging down when going up hill/needing power. Ended up being dirty fuel filter and the second time dirty filter and bad fuel pump. Couldn't get power when needed cause it was intermittently starving for fuel. Easy place to start is fuel filter/lines.

Always impressed with your creativity and skills, woodland! I am with you and I believe all the stump grinder wheels from PT should come with user serviceable replaceable teeth like you have created for yourself. Every other stump grinder has user replaceable teeth of some sort. Will head in...

TU for the assistance. It is regular lefty, loosie thread for those tackling this in the future. Have been PB blasting and trying for a few days. Got more aggressive today. Bought a larger wrench and got the nut off. Dont have a torch yet. But it's only a partial win. The blade is on a shaft...

Getting my stump grinder ready for operation. Most of the carbide inserts on the teeth are missing. Wondering how people are getting these brazed on carbide insert tips replaced? Most teeth on new stump grinders are held in by bolted on carriers and are user replaceable. Has anyone retrofitted...

This is an original PT cylindar. They are the same on both sides. They sit low on the PT frame and I was actually surprised it wasn't more damaged. I was also surprised to see that the holes on my frame that this cylindar attaches to were not egged out. I am trying to consistently lube things so...

Took the steering cylindar off today. Started by pressure washing then brake cleaner on fittings. That combo worked very well to get all the grease, debris, etc off the connection areas. Then disconnected hydraulic lines. Thought hydraulic fluid was going to siphon out since they are located...

Awesome! Thnks for bumping the threads- very helpful. Waiting for PT to get back to work after their 4rth of July week off. Have alot of questions for Terry, haha

Starting to prep my stump grinder for use. Wondering how it worked out to switch the direction of the wheel rotation to throw chips away from the machine?

Received the hydraulic plug and cap kit yesterday. If I have some time this weekend, I am going to take the steering cylindar off.

K, ordered a set of metal plugs and caps for the fittings. Going to power wash it first and then move ahead when the fittings get here. Appreciate the suggestions, Peter.

First cylindar issue for me. What has been a slow drip has developed into a stream of oil. Coming from inside--the joint between the rod and the outer housing. Looks like I will have to take it off and send it to PT for repair. I know PT makes there own cylindars so I don't trust a local place...

Good technical info in link below; https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/replacing-pto-pump.73447/

Appreciate you, Peter.

Found some hydraulic diagrams of an 1850. TU woodlandfarms. There are 2 pumps on the 1850 and on my 1460. 1)Variable volume pump and 2) pto pump. Looking at the first pdf diagram below (hydro 5) it seems the wheel circuit fluid is drawn from the tank, through the main filter to the variable...

Spring hollows upgrades as posted above by ponytug are outstanding. I am surprised at the number of metal filings in the photo of the magnet system? Reminds me again how little I know about my 1460. When u posted about filtering the fluid I didn't realize that the main filter doesn't filter...

Have Ryobi tools and just got the battery operated grease gun. Did maintenence on the 1460 and what a joy it was! All lubed in no time at all. Was kinda fun actually. If you don't have this tool, I highly recommend getting one. Was easy to reach all the zerk fittings. Will lube more frequently...

Welcome to the PT1460 club! You and m5040 are the only others on here who have posted about the 1460 model. Mine continues to run strong! Built my house with it and now I am moving on to an ADU and my garage soon. The biggest consistent problem I have with mine is that the gas tank is not lined...

All is well. Thnks for the support as fit of the rim over the center hub is actually very tight and I couldn't tell if the rim was behind the center hub or just very close to it. PB blaster, a mallet and a pry bar and was able to get the rim off. Local tire guy seated the bead and aired it up...

Appreciate the assist everyone. Going out today to deal with it. Thank goodness I don't need to deal with the center nut.

Well I did it to myself. Forgot to air up this tire (which has a slow leak) and went out to clear some brush for the burn pile. Tire popped off the rim bead due to no pressure. I am wondering if I can get the rim/tire off the tractor by just removing the 6 outer bolts or if I need to get that...

The harber freight kit works perfect for this application.

Nice portable setup Moss

Moss Road: Slopes are not steep here. Very gentle rolling from front to back. Not enough to worry about any power loss due to hill climbing if that is what you are getting at? Pony: Agreed, I like the compact/organized storage the trailer provides. Hadn't thought about a trade in, good idea, TU.

To explain further, I am considering selling because the area I need to maintain now that the house is built is not very large--maybe 1.5 acres. All the heavy lifting has literally been done by the big PT1460. Now I need to do work like tilling small garden, build fencing, brushwork, mowing...

Thinking of selling my machine now that I am done building my house and getting a smaller machine/mower? Have regular bucket, 4in1 bucket with teeth, forks, add-a-grapple, stump grinder. Great for landscape/tree company or person who needs significant lift capacity. 4 cylindar Duetz. 1077 hours...

They want to sell? Thought I would give it a shot. Didn't win the lotto so I thought I might get lucky here, haha

Looks fanatstic!! Congrats

In the market for a mower myself. What about a tow behind mower? My area to mow is not that big. This one does a 44 inch cut. Guy wants 850.00 for it??

Congrats! and I hope u enjoy working with your new machine/grapple. Many storms here and the only way I could have cleaned up the property is with my grapple.

When I was building up the forklift/add a grapple attachment, my decision process on the hydraulic fittings was to get stuff from a place that was local so if I had any problems I could have hoses made/repaired same day if needed. Went with fittings they had in stock (regular style) and got a...

Hmm, I use the same process as Ponytug on my 1460 for my 4 in 1 bucket? If not, I have residual line pressure and I cannot get the fittings to connect. Seems to help to have the bucket really flat and level when dropping/connecting.

Just a suggestion on the poles for the ground contact. The pole barn building companies have built up laminated posts that I think are the real deal on the ground contact preservative.. You might find some through them?

I have had some success boring out a center hole and then adding some charcoal briquets into the hole. The charcoal kept the center burning and the wood burned itself out from the center. Once cleaned out I suggest you look into the expanding foam method of setting the new posts. The expanding...

Re: Tchamp "trees and stump grinder" Perfect application for the PT. Nice work! Any tips on the stump grinder useage? I plan on using mine or the first time in the next couple days.

I share your frustration with the 4 in 1 bucket and hard clay soil. I bent the bottom of the lower edge of the front section of the blade also by back scraping hard clay soil. Not learning my lesson, I continued backscraping and unevenly loaded the bucket on one side or the other when hitting...

Trees down all throughout my property and driveway. About 10 to 12 inches of very heavy and wet snow. Power out for 4 days in Central Va. Getting going today by cutting trees down and moving them out of my driveway. Duetz 4 banger started at 38 degrees with no assist right away-SWEET! Add a...

Below is a thread that has some more information for you on forks/mounting plates. My setup is post number 6 with some pictures. I use the forklift frame with a PT welded adapter plate and then I purchased an add a grapple that goes over the forks for moving logs, etc. Works well...

Thunk sounds about right to me. I felt a little tick in the steering wheel when the thunk happens.

Excellent write up Peter! Noted that you said the cycling was every 1.5 minutes when cold and every 10 to 12 seconds when hot. Will use that information as a possible way to diagnose a bad accumulator vs something else wrong with the charging valve. TU

I replaced one 90 degree fitting on the valve (which had a seal that was leaking) a few months ago and that resolved the issue. Machine working good since then. Thank goodness cause I needed it to finish up stuff on my house project.

Since u are in Maryland, may I suggest that (if you haven't tried them out in person) that u take the road trip to the factory and test them out side by side. When I was looking at machines, I really enjoyed my visit to the factory and after testing several sizes it was very clear to me which...

Haha, the special edition Warthog version.

Since we are talking 1460 I will chime in and give my machine some props. Exterior of house is pretty much done. Have a little gravel to move and some grading but in general good to go. Machine has been indispensable in my home build project. Below is a picture of what is possible with a 1460.

Saw down the two long ends with good circular saw full depth and square on one side of post. Flip post (if necessary if saw doesn't cut through in 1 pass on the first side) and repeat cuts on other side. You now have the long sides mostly cut. Drill hole at bottom of the joint with a drill bit...

That price is right. Any way they could pick up your machine on the way back from someone else's delivery? They prolly have people that deliver tractors for them and might be able to help with pickup/dropoff? Good luck.

I would also recommend you buy some plugs for the couplers for the quick attach hose ends that are dangling while not being used to keep the dirt out.

Finally making progress on house project. The outrageous wood prices held me up for months. Backfilling/grading with the PT1460-careful not to bang the foundation.

I wish I had a PT1460 manual. Running 15w40 T4 rotella heavy duty deisel oil but have not been monitoring my hydraulic fluid temps. Can't find that darn magnetic temp guage I bought. Anybody have temeprature readings for their 14xx series machines during the hottest days? I have a suspicion that...

Used 5/16 on the main fuel supply lines and then I bought 3 feet from the ebay link below for the injector return lines. I have been fine for the last year and a half. I keep the extra on hand because this is something that will be a regular maintenance item. https://www.ebay.com/itm/290680047655

Thnks for the clarification, but I have plugs where there are ports on this new one and vice versa? Also, I believe that accumulator port hole is smaller than my old one. It is stamped B. Dont think this is plug and play for me. I sent Terry a picture of my old one when I discussed this with...

I have deliveries coming tomorrow and I need the machine to work NOW. Just picked up the new charging valve assembly PT sent me. I also asked for one of those o-ring fittings and thankfully it was in the box with the new valve assembly. Installed the new o-ring fitting into my old valve assembly...

TU for the tip about the o-ring. Was able to find some more information about this part in the search feature. Does anyone have a schematic for the hydraulic systems on a PT1460? I was noticing the regular chunking sound that Ponytug mentioned in a previous post prior to this valve leaking. It...

Ok, first bad oil leak. This valve is bolted to the back of the port side wall inside the rear tub. Noticed a line of oil on the dirt while driving and realized that can't be good. Was able to locate the leaking area by where the oil was pumping out the side of this valve. A slow steady stream...

PT has been running well and backfilling on my project is almost done. Oil cooler and engine compartment REALLY needed cleaning from all the dirt moving. I dont have power or running water on site yet, so I picked up this battery powered pressure washer and it has the perfect PSI to clean the...

How to properly use your Light Material Bucket-LOL! With the blockwork done on the house project, its time for some site cleanup.

Congrats on the motor swap! Over the past year and a half, I have learned a lot about my PT1460. My machine has approx. 1000 hours on it. Work so far has been totally cleaning out the fuel tank, replacing fuel lines, replacing fuel return lines on the deisel motor, new fuel pump, new filters...

Appreciate all the thoughtful posts. I have sent emails to a few portable sawmill people as I think I can get enough wood to make a good sized pole barn out of this.

Portable mill idea sounds good. How does that work using home milled lumber cause the boards will not be graded? Do u have to use that non graded lumber material for non habitable structures like a pole barn, garage, shop, etc?

I heard the same as u. There's a huge oversupply of logs right now. Log people don't have any more room for logs? But milled lumber prices are up 300 percent in 1 year. Seems like with that much log supply , the milled lumber prices should be going down. My quotes for the wood for the house are...

If its not hardwood they think its not worth there time to burn around here.

Have pine logs galore from the lot clearing and I don't know what to do with them? Average 16 to 24 inches in diameter. Don't have a dump trailer so I can't take them anywhere. Contacted a couple lumber places and they weren't too interested since they were pine? Any sugesstions or ideas would...

Love that spinning wheel of death!!! That looks very effective. Power trac got back to me and said that they can sell me the weld on teeth for about 12 bucks a piece or I can buy a complete new blade with the bolt on teeth for 700.00. Price I put on it when I wanted to get rid of it was make...

I haven't been wearing hearing protection. Thnks for bringing this up. Going to get some.

No issues so far. The lip on the 4 in 1 bucket is very thick and the pressure from going into the dirt goes to the back section of the dozer portion of the bucket which seems to take it well.

Unfortunately, this is the older style blade with the teeth welded onto the circular portion of the blade. I wish it had the bolt on teeth as there are more teeth without the carbide than with it. I think the hydraulic hoses are original.

It is super old. Lol.

I was trying to sell my PT1460 stump grinder but no one is interested. It's just sitting here and I now have some 12 to 16inch diameter pine stumps that I could use it on. Anybody with experience with the PT stump grinder? The PO didn't take care of the blade and it looks like about 70 percent...

Funny how everything is relative. Mine looks like a toy compared to the Cat 963 haha. Good luck finding something for him but it seems to me spending more time with you would be a winner!!

BEAST MODE ENGAGED

I thought of putting in a shutoff also but then I decided I didnt want to introduce another failure point in the system. Below is a link to what I used and I just keep them handy. Pick the right size and then it just clamps down over the fuel line and shuts off the flow when necessary...

Nice grapple. I remember the post you were thinking of getting that style. Could use that for the land clearing i have been doing cause I have trees in the way. On the fuel consumption, I typically run for about half the day and it seems like I put about 5 gallons in and I am full again. I dont...

burn baby burn, it's a ......

Woodland, I am going to have to feed my little baby grapple alot of hardwoods so it can grow up and be half as beefy as your beast mode grapple!

Can you determine if the manual shutoff lever will bypass the solenoid when the solenoid is present inside the motor and you have the manual shutoff lever in the on position? There is a spring in there and I dont know if the manual shutoff lever will bypass a bad solenoid in the on position...

Had a similar issue to you a little while ago with a no start situation on my Deutz 1460. The factory information is not clear related to the function of the solenoid, spring, and manual shut off lever. Tried to understand exactly how the solenoid worked in relation to the manual shut off lever...

Those prints look great! Always liked that style of printer. (y)

Good points all. Checked the alternator on the 4 cyl Duetz and its 60amps. Duty cycle 45 seconds on/10 minutes off for the winch. Looks like it is a solution for occasional use as mentioned above. Thnks!

I have a 9k lb electric winch that is mounted on a 2 inch receiver mount that is rated for the winch. I plan on putting this winch setup into the 2 inch receiver which is on the forklift mount I had made up. I want to winch some logs out of tight areas and pull some trees over that are partially...

Tight Post. TU!

I started with some number 3 stone in the wet spots. Then I went to number 57 stone so u can drive over it. I might finish it with crush and run. At least that is what they call it in Virginia. It is compacting nicely and driving on the 57 stone is no issue. The 57 stone doesn't really turn to...

Chewed through this gravel in no time to beef up the driveway.

Getting ready to do some excavation and need the teeth welded onto my 4in1 bucket soon. Now that I look at the teeth/mount that I bought again, the teeth are going to sit lower that the bottom of the bucket due to the style of the tooth mount that clamps over the bucket edge. Should I care...

Looks great! Congrats.

Here u go 682051,682052

IMHO a bucket would not do as well to scrape roots, branches off the ground as the root grapple. See my picture in avatar for my new forks/add a grapple setup. There is also a thread if you are interested. M5040--- I had the welder reinforce the PT adapter plate connection and I think the 3...

AWESOME! Glad to have another 1460 in the group.

Glad the forum is back!. My PT1460 is really growing on me. I got the add a grapple hoses made up while we were all frozen here in Va. Had a warm day and hooked everything up last week. I was concerned about priming a new attachment with oil but it isn't necessary and once I hooked up the hoses...

Loving the new fork attachment! Made a wood platform for the forks. Then moved two truckloads of stuff and about 100 sheets of 4 by 8 rigid insulation out of a tent I was using for storage. Worked great! My property is wooded. I'm in Virginia. I am happy with the manueverability and I am...

Pallet Fork Add A Grapple just came in and I picked it right off the delivery tractor trailer with the new forklift attachment! Starting to enjoy my PT more and more. Just in time for some winter tree cleanup from a big ice storm we had here recently. Heavy ice broke alot of pine trees/branches...

Nice way to start off the new year! Welder just dropped off my PT adapter plate welded to the pallet fork frame. He also put a plate on the bottom with some holes drilled into it for drainage out the bottom. I thought he did a good job and now I can use pallet forks to clean up and move a bunch...

I like doing tree work when its cold outside and I want to develop a cold weather start procedure for the PT. It is currently outside under a tarp and we are going to be in the 20s, so I am looking for a good way to get everything warmed up properly. Have a torpedo heater that I used to cook the...

Pallet forks with PT adapter plate is getting welded up now. After that is done, I would like to add a removable grapple to the pallet fork implement. I think this one would work nice? WordPress Error Precision manufacturing forklift add a grapple. Link above might not work?

Received this adapter plate from PT for making my aftermarket 1460 pallet fork attachment. Factory bend has noticeable cracking. My other attachment plates are welded at the bottom intersection with the large flat main section-not bent on a brake like this one. Don't know if this is a new cost...

Plan on putting the teeth on the main front edge. Can still bulldoze and drag with the 4 in 1 open is the plan. I have the light material bucket also if I need it. I originally wanted to do a bolt on tooth bar and so I only ordered 1 tooth to see how it would fit. The P.T. bucket and exisiting...

Need to be able to dig out some dirt. Soil is a little on the clay side. Definitely not soft, rich topsoil or sandy. Would like to add some teeth to my 4 in 1 bucket cutting edge. I ordered a 23 tf tooth from Titan to check fit and it fits good. The inside of the bucket is 71inches wide. How...

I saw that. Considered making a front shield out of plexiglass and using the thick vinyl to make the sides for a heated cab. Now that my machine is running good, I just bought a Ryobi (small propane tank/battery powered) heater for my cold weather engine block heater. Could mount it on the roof...

Hoping my1460 attachement plate is about the same size as your 1430 plate. My PT plate is 10.25 inches at the top where it would fit into the angled portion of the 3 pt to ssqa adapter. Is it possible for you to measure the top portion of yours? I would like to know if my top plate will fit...

Just got a set of SSQA 48inch Pallet Forks and a PT attachment plate is on the way from PT for my 1460. Question is: Do you all think I should I also get an additional SSQA hitch plate with the locking pins and weld the PT adapter plate to the SSQA hitch? Or should I just weld the PT adapter...

Finally got some time to deal with this properly. Fuel tank drained completely. Pressure washed inside of fuel tank. Removed and replaced all the old lines from tank to engine with new 5/16 fuel lines. New inline fuel filter. New mechanical fuel pump. (Got rid of all the previous owners...

Pumped out the fuel because I couldn't see the bottom of the tank with a flash light to see if there was gunk in it or a clogged strainer. Pumped some of the fuel into a clear jug to check it out. Pretty clean inside tank and no strainer in my tank bottom at fuel exit port. A little rusty and...

Well I am making progress. On my machine the manual shut off condition is away from the oil filter spout. This is opposite what the Deutz manual states so that is not cool. Lever toward the oil spout my Deutz it starts and runs, move manual shutoff lever away from oil spout it shuts down. So...

This is just an idea and I have not contacted PT about this!! BUT, I would be interested in going to PT headquarters and staying for a 1-3 day hands on/in depth workshop covering all the components of my machine and how to fix stuff in general. Concept would be a deep dive on all the different...

Not understanding the operation of the solenoid in relation to the manual shutdown lever? The diagrams seem to indicate that the moving the manual shutdown lever position away from the oil spout is the correct start/run position and when the shutdown lever position is toward the oil filter it...

I think my shutoff solenoid is starting to intermittantly fail. The fuel shutoff lever is not moving. I am working through my possible fuel delivery issue and this may be another possible problem. This solenoid may be partially failing and causing the fuel rail to intermittantly move into on/off...

Need a hitch plate for my PT1460 to move around trailers, etc. Should I get a regular hitch and a pintle welded onto the PT plate? If yes should the pintle be on top, bottom or side by side? Anybody have any ideas on the best way to do this with 1 PT plate? The 1460 plates from PT are 350.00 each

PT 1460 stump cutter that is sitting. Would prefer to trade it for a brush grapple since they are basically the same price. 2,500 from PT for the PT 1460 stump grinder. Never used it as it came with my machine but I haven't needed it.

You guys are awesome! The update is that the round prefilter at the motor was totally clogged with fine debris. Some small disappointments did become evident with this partial repair. To clean the prefilter I had to buy a fuel line clamp because there is no petcock on my gas tank. ( -1 for...

You are correct and my fuel supply does gravity feed from the bottom of the fuel tank. The other fuel lines in the previous photo are return lines as stated. My supply fuel line comes from bottom of tank to a gold canister mounted on a silver block. There are 2 wires coming off the silver block...

Dont remember how I came to find this? It was saved as a webpage as I was cleaning out my web browser. It might be something you all would be interested in so I thought I'd post the link RR6 Atv/Utv Logging/Dump Trailer - Range Road Enterprises Ltd. (USA)

Wait a little bit and it will start right up again and run for a short time then run very slow then die out? I'm thinking fuel flow blockage. The fuel exit line is up high on my tank. Must be a tube that goes down to the bottom of tank and the fuel pump or injectors I guess must create...

Wel, I am working about 1/2 as much as normal so I have time to work on the driveway and lot clearing for the new shop. My PT1460 machine has plenty of power to push over trees up to about 6-12 inches depending on species. The problem happens with the trees that just bend over and then come back...

If you have the Duetz diesel 1101/2011? And maybe others, I would check the fuel return lines for slight leaks/wetness. I had a small pin hole leak in the number 1 return line and it was spraying fuel into the engine bay. Only reason I noticed it was because I was checking for something else...

Scored a 4 in1 bucket and stump grinder used for my PT1460. Don't understand how the connections work. The stump grinder has huge connectors on it. Seems they would fit on the outside large hose connections of the PT1460. The 4 in 1 bucket has small connectors on it? They appear to be the same...

Ok, progress on the Duetz gold canister oil pressure sender. The gold canister is part number 06555-7351. Don't know the manufacturer. Got the part from PT for 100.00 delivered. It is a single wire oil pressure sender. 80 psi rated internal potentiometer style. The sender grounds to the motor...

Need to clear a couple access roads through my bug out property. Alot of 1 to 4 inch trees (oak and maple). I have the light material bucket and the 4 in 1 bucket and PT1460. Going to try and just use the front edge of the bucket and dig into the ground slightly and lift and tear all this out as...

Have the 1011f duetz 4 cylindar in my 1PT1460. Just saw no oil pressure on the oil pressure guage at dash. I saw on another post the gold cylindar with 1 wire coming off it on the drivers side of the Duetz deisel engine is an oil presure sender. Can I test for bad sender/wire by putting a...

Thanks to all who posted previously. Learned alot here and wanted to join up. I'm in Central virginia. Building out a little bug out retreat. Just picked up a used Power Trac 1460. Have the large material bucket, 4 in 1 bucket and the stump grinder. First thing I plan on doing is clearing out a...
