Hey all, A year or so after I got my PT (so around 2007) I got tired of the front tires on the mower deck constantly going flat and breaking the beads loose, so I bought the foam-filled Carlisle tires from PT. They finally came apart at the end of the season last year which was a pretty amazing...

Hey folks, I haven't been around much for quite a while, but a recent thread reminded me of a problem I solved quite a few years ago: The dreaded backfire a few seconds after shutdown. Maybe somebody else already did this, but I'll go ahead anyway. It occurred to me that turning off the...

First pix.

Today hasn't been one of my happier ones lately. I could use some cheering up. Anybody got a good (non-political) joke?

Cue Western movie theme: Cowboy#1 "Quiet night" (Crickets chirping. Coyotes howl in the distance.) Cowboy #2 "Yeah...too quiet"... Cue attack from hostile natives or critters... Well, maybe not. I guess we're all too busy catching up from winter and trying to get ready for spring. I...

After 5 years and approaching 600 hours of hard use and abuse, along with several catastrophic air filter failures in extremely dusty conditions, the Robin EH72D 720cc/25hp engine in my PT425 has just about had enough. The blow-by is now overwhelming the additional crankcase breather...

As promised, here's my experiment with exhaust modification on my PT 425 with the Robin engine. I don't have a very good photo of the original exhaust. Here's what I do have. It was taken to show the proximity of the muffler to the engine cover where the fuel pump used to reside.

At long last, I’m going to try to post some of the stuff I’ve done to “Kermit”, my PT-425. (I wrote most of this before I downloaded the digital photos, and I'm too lazy to figure out how to tie them in at the appropriate points. I'll just attach them all at the end.) I’ll begin with my...

Kermit is our PT425. We picked him up just before last Thanksgiving. After playing...umm...working with him for a few hours, we were sitting back looking at him. We realized that: He's small, green, bugeyed, and cute, like a certain famous frog. What else could we call him? We have one of his...
