Can anyone with a PT425 answer a few questions for me. I just replaced the lift arm assembly and center section link arm. I ordered the replacements from PT and dropped off the tractor and parts at a local tractor repair shop. When I got it back, I tried to use the LMB but could not dump it. The lift assembly would not allow the bucket to go past horizontal.
I looked at a PT425 on the PT website and it looks like the repair shop mounted the tile arm correctly, however, it does not allow enough 'throw'
to empty the bucket. I'm guessing one of several things could be wrong: 1) the repair shop mounted the center link arm where the lift assembly link arm should go (they are not the same length), 2) The lift arm throat assembly is backwards, or 3) power trac welded the lift arm throat backwards.
I have attached two photos of the areas in question. I also have another question about bolt size. Can anyone tell me the size wrench needed for the bolt in photo labeled A?. Can anyone tell me the length of the lift assembly link arm labeled B? Can anyone tell me if the lift arm throat assembly is correct or backwards? The throat assembly has a long side and short side. It also has a flat side and angled side. Which end should be connected to the quick attach plate? Can someone tell me the length of the center link arm in the second photo labeled D?
Thanks,
