    2015-2017 PT-425 Battery

    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...

    Hustler Hydraulic lift cylinder

    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...

    Color of the Black Paint

    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.

    Stump Grinder for a 425

    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...

    Filter difference on 425

    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...

    Snow Blade and the wheels

    Any out there have the Snow Blade with the Caster wheels on it? I was about to take mine off the new machine yesterday, and noticed that they seemed to have made the arms that attach it to the blade shorter then the old ones I have seen that were welded onto the blade. If you go in reverse to...

    How well does the Box Blade work

    Just about ready to go pic my 425 machine up. Wanted to get some input to whether the box blade teeth worked well enough to brake a hard packed gravel road up, so I could fill some holes in. I have seen it work on dirt, but wondered if the machine was big enough and had enough power to be...

    Changes in plans on the PT Purchase

    As all may know that were following a thread I had going about how to convert a treadle to hand control, and me looking at the purchase of a 12 year old 1430, that has all changed now. The person I was going to buy the 1430 from decided after the last few snows we had here, he was not sure how...

    Treadle to hand control conversion on 1430

    I know this is a question that might not be asked very much, but thinking of buying a 2005 (or there about) 1430. Problem is, I am in a wheelchair, so can't use the treadle control on it, and wondering of what, or how hard it might be to convert it over to a hand control. I have some ideas on...

    What to look for in a 1430 purchase

    I have the chance to purchase a 2003 PT-1430 with about 5 or 6 attachments and owner says it has around 820 hours on it. I am new to this machine, and would like to hear from all what I should be on the look out for when I go to check it out? What are common things that seem to go wrong, or...
