Well I finally got around to seriously looking at my starting problem. I took the starter motor off and disassembled it. BTW I had tried all the other easier suggestions with no luck.... What it ended up being was the starter clutch fork (the piece that the solanoid uses to engage the starter...

Well I knew it had to happen sooner or later. I finally have hit a problem with my PT425, the engine will not start. I'm going to give Power-Trac a call tomorrow but I wanted any advice from the more mechanically inclined here. Whenever I attempt to turn the engine on I hear a metallic...

Posthole Digger with 9\" auger performance I'm seriously contemplating purchasing the PHD and 9" auger, but I wanted some real life opinions from some current owners of this combination. I've searched the archives and really haven't seen any messages related to drilling in rock. The area I...

I thought I would ask this here to see if anyone has run into this or has any ideas.... My 60" mower has been working great and then all of a sudden while I was mowing I heard this huge clanking noise. I shut her down and then turn her on and it starts clanking again. So I stop the tractor and...

I'm coming up on my 100 hours and wanted to get the necessary hydraulic filter on order. I searched the post archives and parts database and found no reference to any generic filters for the PT-425. Does anyone know if there are any generic hydraulic filters? Also, I know I change the oil at...

New 60\" mower Just received my new 60" mower today and I have to say WOW ... Moving from a Sears riding lawnmower there is just no comparison. The fact that I can vary my speed and direction within seconds vs changing gears is a big time saver. The from 42" to 60" cutting width helps as...

Dimensions of 60\" mower deck Can someone give me the physical dimensions of the 60" mower deck. I am getting one shipped as I type and want to see if it will fit in the back of my Ram pickup for transport home. It's kinda funny, my riding lawnmower died last weekend and I'm not too fussed. It...

Whats the difference between the post hole digger and the auger attachments? Can you use just the auger to dig holes or do you attach it to the post hole digger? Can anyone give me an explanation and if you have pictures of either I would love to see them... Sorry if this is a stupid...

Had my first bit of trouble today. Put a one inch gash in the side wall of the front tire. Not even slime could patch this one up Not sure how it happened but I was land clearing and moving some rocks so I thing I rubbed next to a jagged one.... Anyone found a cheap source for turf tires. I've...

I was having tractor withdrawals from all the rain we had been getting lately so I ventured out to clear some debri. Well I ventured out into some muddy areas and before I knew it I was stuck. No matter how I "wiggled" I just went in deeper.... This tractor was not coming out by itself, so I...

blah blah

Can one of you PT-425 owners that have bar treads be so kind as to tell me the make/specs on those tires. Are they made by Titan like the turfs are?

Sorry I couldn't resist ..... Anyway, I really want to clean my PT once I reach 50hrs. How is everyone else doing it? I've been moving alot of dirt so have it everywhere... I'd love to just pressure wash it away but am hesitant because I don't want to cause any problems ... There was a BX...

Been quiet around here for the last couple of days so I thought I would share my impressions of the PT-425 after 24hrs of use.... I bought the PT to perform clearing and landscaping work. I already have a cheap riding lawnmower which cuts my grass but the bonus would be I could use the PT to...
