Used PT's

Re: Used PT\'s

Maybe you can slip a piece of pipe over the wrench like a breaker bar setup, to help tighten with one hand?

I have some ready cut pieces of pipe 2', 3', and 4' long /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I just hope they will fit over this wrench when I get it. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Well I feel for ya, I tore a tendon in my right forearm about 4 years ago, lifting weights. It took at least a year before I could even close my hand without a surging pain. You don't realize how much you take your body for granted, until something like that happens. Hope it heals soon. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Nope. It has rained here for the last 7 days with the exception of a small break on Mother's Day. For some reason, I did not have time to check my tractor on Mother's Day. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Knowing my mechanical skills, I will kill the poor 425.

Re: Used PT\'s

Just a thought for people who like to do tasks in a potentially dangerous way (like I usually do inadvertantly!) /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I also have a physical limitation regarding strength, so I discovered that you can put the wrench on the nut arranged in a way that you can SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY use the steering articulation with the wrench against the frame to tighten the nut A LITTLE BIT SO YOU DON'T STRIP THE THREADS!

Re: Used PT\'s

That's pretty innovative /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif I like it! That’s simple but effective. I would like to echo your thoughts though, be very careful not to strip the nut, and if engine is running make sure the brake is on.

Someone on here can't remember who now, also gave me another simple, but great tip ! that I've been using. Just use your toe on the underside of the right treadle peddle to back up. Since I have been doing this I have not needed to call Terry and order the springs. Works like a charm I might add. Can back up with out being concerned of jumping the PT into something.

Re: Used PT\'s

Speaking of backing up,

I'm sure someone has already thought of this. Rear view mirror on their PT. I have one ordered to put in my cab. Stories on here of smoking engines or loosing hydraulic oil, and not noticing it while working prompted me to do this. Also good for seeing anyone in back of me when backing up. Anyone else done this? does it help.
