broken frame on PT 422

Thanks for the information. I'm sure any PT422 owners will appreciate the warning to check this area as part of their regular maint. routine.

I was using the the backhoe attachment on a slope and suddenly steering got real odd.. and sure enough that same failure where the steering cylinder rips off, looks just like the picture at the beginning of this thread. Since I'm in California I don't think I'll use the shipping option.. My 422 has about 120 hrs, 2005.. been working way too much to enjoy my tractor

ouch, sorry to hear that.

If you got a chance, I am sure a number of us here would appreciate some decent photos of the carnage.

I hate to hear of your problem, does your 422 just have a single steering jack or does it have one on each side? Let us know how the fix goes.
