Clean and no oil leaks!

 

[ponytug]

None of the wheel motor hoses shown are capped, so yes, no leaks...anymore.
Serial # 183! (CLA)

Just amazing to describe it as "in good condition".

@m5040, thanks for sharing it.

All the best, Peter

YIKES!

CLA is pre-PowerTrac, isn't it?

 

[agjones]

Yep.

Was this machine built this way OEM or did someone graft a modification on top of a smaller PT machine? The red body suggests PT, but the tubing extensions look like a mod to my eyes.

Parts only and who knows how many useable parts... Wonder if the engine is locked up too? Asking price is way too high, I'd offer 500 max.

Looks like they built an extension out the back to accommodate the longer engine.

Chock full of ideas how to convert your PT425 for a bigger engine.

For some reason I stopped getting emails that there were comments on this post.
Anyway, I have grand notions that when the original gas engine goes in mine, I would install a small Kubota. I was going to see if PT would be willing to sell me about a 1' of tub with the thought of welding in an extension between the hyd tank and the rear drive motors. After seeing this I am strangely intrigued. If they filled in the openings with panels and painted it to match, it would of looked halfway decent. A big negative having the engine sit so high would be more top heavy.
