Tractor
Power Trac 2430
Hello to all I would like to start saying im new to tractorbynet. In a bit of a bind. A huge rock slid off and hit my tractor, breaking the shaft off my wheel motor, also the front casing. I called terry and described the issue, he told me at first 350 to reseal with new shaft and bearing. Untill I sent him pictures, now with the front casing busted (which I thought was, and hoping a bearing) was a different motor all together, is now 1130 bucks. I would like to find a similar motor to replace it with, or all 4 so if something happens like this again I wouldn't be out this crazy marked up price. The shaft is 1"X20tpi.
Thanks in advance
Firecracker

Go over the entire motor. Any markings? Take a picture. Post the numbers. Pt tends to file numbers off to keep parts I house but they are generally moderately priced off the shelf motors. Still, it won't be cheap. You could look at surplus center and replace all 4m again not cheap but you might find something more powerful but slower,

Also very interested in your use of this machine, how this happened. Any more details or pix?

Will post more pics of motor when I get home. I looked at suplus a little last night. Only thing about replacing one is the speed. The rock came from the hill behind my house I had tried to move a while ago and couldn't budge it. Freeze and thaw with mother nature moved it without a problem. Here's a couple more pics of the tractor.

Double OUCH!
The first pictures didn't look all that bad. It looked like the tractor was sitting next to a rock wall. That last picture shows what I thought was the wall was the rock! We don't got no rocks like that here in South Bend. :eek:
