    PT 425 - repower options (Kohler 25hp)

    Well I haven't confirmed yet but I think my engine took a dump (about 1400hrs). I am looking to replace the Kohler with the same one (CH25s with a shaft on both sides) which is now a CH730/740 or possibly upgrading to the 27HP as from what I understand can possibly bolt right in (but not...

    What did you do with your Power Trac today?

    Planting some garlic again this year and I had my dad run my 48" Buhler tiller that had been used once before according to the owner, looks like it too. I picked up on FB for $800 (on his new JD 1025r) I bought to modify for my 425. I got to say the tiller ran better on that way better than mine...

    PT-425 PTO Not Starting

    I would definitely have to take out the muffler to get the battery out. It definitely is not as good integrity strength wise as he also built a counterweight he attached to the hitch pin. It's bent/bowed because of that. I may employ my brother in law welder to strengthen it back up and create a...

    Also, seems as though the key assemblies may look the same but there are different internal wiring options after doing a quick search. The new one I had has 6 posts and the old one only 5 posts. 6 post would just crank and crank and 5 post let's it fire right off. Oh and prior owner did a...

    PT-425 PTO Not Starting

I had to hang up with him and pulled the panel to look in at the switches. Prior owner had ordered a new ignition switch...

    PT-425 PTO Not Starting

    Well my battery has 11-12v and when I have key on and flip the PTO switch I don't hear anything on the solenoid. Cleaned it up a bit as it was covered in a little grease/dirt. I tested resistance on the solenoid and Im getting about 5 Ohms (although it starts out really high then settles at 5...

    PT-425 PTO Not Starting

    Thanks everyone. I'll try those recommendations and see what might be the issue. I also searched a bit more and saw a post from last year someone had similar issue and it ended up being the battery. The one I have hasn't given me problems so far but it is old and may not be holding enough charge...

    PT-425 PTO Not Starting

    Hi everyone, first time posting and did a thread search, but couldn't find a good answer. I've got an older 425 with the Kohler that has 1260 hrs on it (I didn't get a service manual with it either so but blind in that respect). I picked it up last fall and have not had any problems up until...
