Hey guys, since I cannot get a hold of Predator Trac for him to possibly nurse me along on a change over to "electric", I am looking to buy a new engine for my PT422 (old/current Robin 22 hp engine needs to be replaced).
I think this PT was new around 2000. I am the 3rd owner, the 2nd owner didn't have it very long when I purchased it from him in 2006. I got the PT422, 48" bucket, mower deck, and a 5'x10' trailer in 2006 for $6200.
I called Terry at Power Trac and he said the PRICE for a 22hp Robin plus shipping, is $2,260.11.
(I'm assuming that is for a "new" engine.)
Is that a decent price?
Could I get it somewhere else cheaper?
Also, if I change out the engine, does anyone recommend changing out or replacing/ upgrading anything else at the same time?
I have had a couple problems with the wiring harness, so would this be the time to replace it, and if so, where could I buy one, and do you know the approximate price?
As always, thanks in advance to anyone and everyone for any input.
