I ended up finding that the stock battery is a 45 series battery. Put one from Napa in it, their number 7545. I got around 6 or so years on the stock battery, and have an external fan on it to help with cooling, and also 4 LED lights on the front that I use very seldom, but with the external and...

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...

Here are a couple I took in the past, maybe it will give you an idea.

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...

Here is my little Power Trac 425 Plowing some.

Here are a few thoughts after I did my second cleanup. The first round went well and there was about 10-12" and could plow it well, no crabbing or such. I have no chains on the machine, and after today don't think I will put them on there. I could see where it spun a lot on the tires, but a lot...

This is Weight bracket and hitch I made for the back of the PT 425. I wanted to try it in the Winter with Snow, to see if it might help not having to chain up. These were weights I used to use on the back of my John Deere 318 and have a total weight of 250 pounds. It is a standard size 2x2"...

Changes to the Subaru Exhaust Josh and a few others had been asking me what I had done to my Exhaust on my Subaru. At first I did the wrap on the stock exhaust, added the fan and all but I still felt that there could be more done to help it. Below I have added a few pictures to show the...

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.

I think this is the one I got a KD 2029 Band Wrench

I know this is an old post, but thought it might help some people out that have a PT425 out there. I know, or lets say I hope it was the correct point it directed me to on my 2015 machine. I took the cap off the top, and hooked the line up and ran it into the tank, took the spark plugs out...

Another thing you might want to think about is making a lever to come up off of your aux. hydraulics lever. It is a pain in the butt having to reach down and move it for things other then using it to release the attachments. When you are using a 4 in 1, or the mini hoe it really comes in handy...

Here is the ditch to the back of my side yard,and it almost has a slight uphill to it, so to make enough drop to let the water flow, I had to have a friend with a skid steer and LONG bucket flip it all up to the right, then I took my John Deere at the time and moved a lot of dirt and stumps and...

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...

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...

Hey M R, I saw that picture of yours before, and why I said yours has a LOT more space between the blade and the wheels. Only reason I can think they shortened it, is people might be putting too much down pressure on the tire, if it is not in float. I too would just tilt it forward to drag in...

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...

Josh and a few others, I think you wanted to see how they were going to make, or mount the hand control I had put on the 425. They put a long skinny handle on it, (of which I didn't like) so I put some threads on it, and mounted a knob on the top of it, was a lot easier to use your palm of your...

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...

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...

I know the feeling with all the pedals and levers. I have the two turning brakes on my JD of which I don't really use, (even though I have made handles I can push if needed) I have used them when snow is REAL deep and wanted to crab to one side when I had the blade at full angle and that did...

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...

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...
