I have lived here six years, and this is the first opportunity I have had to use my snow blade since I got here. Previously, I lived in VA and CT, and had plenty of chances. 8" of snow, with another 11" forecast over the next 3 days. I figured I better get busy. Started out with my patented...

Anybody in WA state considering ordering any attachments? They are 15% off until the end of the year. Shipping of one attachment is $400. Shipping of 2 is $500. Anybody interested in piggy-backing off my order, could save a lot on shipping. I am in the general Seattle area, and will get PT...

No, not the first time, but this time was special. You know what is worse that the bolt shearing off and throwing a blade? Throwing a blade right into the side wall of your front tire. I got a hole I can stick my hand through. Don't think that one is repairable. And these tires aren't...

I never saw this one, but it is interesting: http://www.jackssmallengines.com/pdf_documents/robin%20engines/Manuals/RA-SB-015.pdf It says that the Robin engine may be difficult to start because of parasitic loads such as hydraulic pumps in cold weather. Sounds kind of familiar. It recommends...

One of the reasons I chose to move to MD from CT was to get away from all the snow. I wasn't ready for the 24" dumped on us this weekend. All I have is the 4N1 bucket for snow removal... which I have never used in snow. It is a bit small. It did me no good in this case, since the bucket is...

I have the external muffler on my PT422. I am working (and will complete someday when my welding skills get better) on a new exhaust manifold. Last time I took the muffler off to measure it, I also drilled out each of the intake tubes on the muffler to get rid of the 1/4" - 1/2" lip where PT...

What if I wanted to move something around that is in then 800-1500# range (heavier machinery like a milling machine)... my PT422 would be stressed to pick up anything more then 500-600# on the forklift attachment (I know it is rated for 800#, but if the COG is 18-24" in front of the QA plate...

Anyone know if there is a moderator for this forum? It would be nice to make some posts stickies, such as the OWNERS BY STATE and maybe some of the better modifications threads. If we don't have anyone, I nominate MOSSROAD (sorry mossroad, but your post count pretty much puts you in the...

Power Trac PT 425 Multi-Purpose Loader Mower - (eBay item 330156978285 end time Aug-23-07 18:38:04 PDT) Nice package: finish mower, brush hog, trench, auger, rock bucket, LMB, spike AND core aerator, hitch receiver, 305 hours.

I have never unscrewed the oil plug on the right hand side of the engine when changing the oil (since PT made a convenient hole and threaded an elbow into the oil plug on the left hand side to drain oil out). I drained the oil out of the left hand side (jacking up the right hand side a bit to...

Anybody have an electrical diagram for the PT422? I checked the manual, and I have nothing. In the right side of the engine compartment I have two connectors which are unplugged. A female bayonent connector on a white wite which has 12V when the ignition switch is on, and a male bayonent...

Someone is selling two 1850's on EBay, starting at $14.5k (one running, one for parts). Might be a good deal for someone: 2 PT1850 embankment mowers

Just bought the 42" sears heavy duty lawn sweeper. AFter trying it for 5 minutes (cause my PT is almost out of gas), I gotta say that it is amazing. Filled up the catcher bag about half full of grass clippings in that short amount of time. Would have taken about an hour to rake that much out...

For all of you with the PT core aerator... is there something about the PT version (other then most likely built like a tank) that makes it worth so much more then some other heavy duty aerators on the market? I am assuming that the PT aerator isn't powered. A quick look at Ebay turns up a...

I have the opportunity to get a Mighty Mac PTO shredder fairly cheap, and I was considering welding it to a quick attach plate with a hydraulic motor coupled to the PTO drive shaft. The minimum speed of the PTO is 650 rpm, with 800 rpm being normal range. Is this asking too much for the PTO...

Any advice for how to emply the 4n1 bucket. I started moving some dirt around, and other then emptying the bucket faster or using the trailing edge of the forward clamshell to grade the dirt pile a bit, I don't really seem to be getting the 4n1 techinque. It is definitely awkward to use the...

I have read several posts from people saying they were dissatisfied with the rear wheels on their finish mowers, and were planning to replace them. Has anybody actually replaced them, and where did you get teh replacement tires? I notice that when I am mowing that the hard plastic rear wheels...

Any rcommendations for techniques for digging post holes in rocky soil. I have the 9" inch, and I make it down about 6-12", and pretty much stops going any farther due to fist size (and smaller) collection of rock. So I muck/pry those out with a shovel, and then keep drilling. Pretty slow...

My PTO doesn\'t work?!? MY PTO DOESN't WORK! Am I doing something wrong here? I tried both the mower and the PHD. Shouldn't they get hydraulics when you flip the PTO switch? I get nothing... no spinning mower, no spinning PTO. What am I missing? Otherwise, I am going to pull out my multitester...
