waiting for pt425

Congratulations!

You might want to check the battery cables. Loosen them up, give them a few twists back and forth, then tighten them down again. Check the other ends, too.

How's your wheelbarrow feel about this? Mine got upset and hid under the deck for a year and a half. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Congratulations! I hope to join the ranks of PT owners soon. Hopefully the starting problem was something simple like loose cables as MR suggested. Jay, honk when you drive past Cleveland...no, I won't hear you, but it will be a milestone after a couple hours on the road.db

The starting problem was only the first start up,since then it has started every time. I never done anything to get it to start except wait for a few seconds deciding where to start tracking down the problem, before I started checking the battery cables to see if they were lose I decided to try it again and it started right up. since then it has started up every time. The man that loaded it at the factory cranked it for a long time trying to get it to start to put it on the trailor, the battery may have been just about run down. There is one thing I was wondering about , there is three or four leads coming out of the engine that is not attached to anything does anyone know what they are for.

I got the small bucket with teeth, the dozer blade, the pallet forks, mini hoe, brush hog with filled tires, spare tire, attachment plate cutter bar for dozer blade and the lip kit for snow. Eventually I would like to get the tiller, 60 inch finish mower, and the large bucket , but the wish list may grow as I learn more about the machine.

I purchased a Kohler Engine Manual through a local small engine shop. It was less than $15.00. It shows what the extra wires are for. It is at home and I don't remember what all they are for... I think a couple are for 12V and so on. I suggest getting the owner's manual and the service manual from a shop in your area. You can also get them on-line through Kohler, but they were a few dollars more and you had to pay shipping as well.

I figured my wheel borrow would be upsetbut I watched it and it didn't seem to mind very much. I think the last time it was used though it was thinking enough already can't you see I am wobbly and old
