Re: Power Trac PT422
<font color=red>I was wondering if anyone could tell me about how to get service on one of these. What happens 5 years down the line if the company is bought or goes under? Can you get parts elsewhere?</font color=red>
I have had my 1845 only a short time, but my brothers and I have a fair-sized long term collection of machinery, which we maintain primarily by ourselves or with the help of friends. For that reason the Power Trac doesn't seem to pose much of a problem.
If you don't want to do your own work, any competent mechanic should be able to work on the machine.The engine(s) and all of the hydraulic components are off-the-shelf items. If something happened to the Power Trac company, the only real repair problem would be if a proprietary component, such as a frame section were damaged. Even those, however, look pretty simple for a good welding/fabrication shop to repair. I suppose we'd all be a bit more comfortable if there were factory trained mechanics around, but I am confident I can find someone to do whatever is needed that I don't want to do myself.
