So Kent, I'm sure it's on this forum somewhere. What did you find your PT needed if anything, when you got it home and had a chance to really go over it? You seem to have had pretty good luck with your buy.

Nothing really. I just changed the engine oil and filter, air filter, hydraulic filter and went to work. Nothing was significantly wrong with it, and it had been pretty well maintained by PTRich.

I quickly discovered tire problems working in the woods behind my house, though, and had a series of flats before I loaded the tires and put Hydro-Seal sealant in them. Only problem with tires since then has been breaking off valve stems in the woods twice. I also changed the hydraulic fluid to 20W50 Amsoil after about 50 more hours (around the 300 hour point, as I recall).

Since then, I've had a cooling fan go out, replaced the battery (it was the original from 2000), and my friend cracked the weld on the rollover tube and had it re-welded. Other than routine engine oil changes and hydraulic filter changes, that's all I've done except work the heck out of it when I get the chance... :)
