I had the same problem on my ch25 after trying a few things I took it to dealer. He found that the push button pump on top of fuel filter assembly was sucking air. He replaced it under warranty even though it was three years old and it runs and starts now like new

Fuel filter crossover for 2610 seems to be impossible to find. I recently had some gel form in my fuel tank. I think I got it all out but now it’s still stalls when I put a load on it like mowing tall grass or lifting a full bucket of dirt. There is a Kioti dealer over a hour away so I went to...

Well its fixed I just mowed my heart out through chest high weeds. That never gets old. Anyway It turns out their is only a single 1 7/8 nut holds that 25 pound blade from coming loose. No set screw, no key, no cotter pin. It was loose and we tightened it down and everything is working like new...

yeah, im starting to think that when the quik connect got knocked off while running wide open that the other line (suction) was still connected and that that ripped a seal somewhere in the brush hog motor. I dont really know, but thats my hypotheses. Ill wait for PT to reopen and ask them.

Can I get inside the hydraulic motor by just removing the cap (4 bolts on top)? Any body have a diagram of what it looks like inside? Is it possible I just blew a seal and oil is flowing through without giving me power?

Ill try that. When hoses are atached and its full rpms the brush hog blade is spinning at about two revolutions per second and its quiet. blade is still in the folded position as its spinning so slow

no Just the two standard hoses one male and one female quik connect.

I replaced my Kholer engine last year with a new one. Didnt think I could handle it. But after a few bruised knuckles it was done and runs like a champ. Trickiest part was cutting the drive shaft shorter on the motor. But I Magivered a simple way to cut it using a saw zaw and it looks like it...

most John Deere dealers can handle anything with Hydraulics

So I have a 1425 I bought about 30 years ago new. I have a bucket, brush hog, finish mower and a rototiller. I installed a new Kholer 25 hp last summer. Its been great with the new motor except for a bunch of cylinder leaks that developed after the new motor was installed which I assumed showed...

My tractor is being starved for fuel Ive changed the fuel pump, fuel, filter and fuel lines. It seems my filter is full when I start it up but within 4 or 5 minutes it start to run erratic and the filter runs dry. Im getting good vacuum on the pump (to the touch) It usually dies out with a...

What oil is currently recommended for the pt 425? When I bought my 1425 in 1994 they said to use 5w30. What difference does it make if I use different oils. Will a change increase some performance and decrease other aspects?What wheight oils if any are most resistant to overheating in the...

Anyone know what motor can be used to replace two of the parker wheel motors and will still fit the hubs on my 10 year old pt 1425. It seems pt has gone to a new motor and they no longer sell paker. Making that switch requires 4 new motors and 4 new hubs since the shaft is not the same. I must...

In 1993 I discovered and bought a pt1425 from a dealer who has since folded. Through the years I have tried to break and have fixed almost everything on this tractor. Recently though the main hydraulic pump in the front of the Kholer 25 blew its main seal and was fried. I pulled it and took it...
