What did you do with your Power Trac today?

[AVIVIII]

Yes, it was obvious. That's what had me wanting to scream.
From my front row seat, it looked like gallons and gallons of oil.

You seemed well prepared for an oil spill. It seems to me that I think about catching oil leaks later than I think that I should.

Thanks again for the video!

All the best,

Peter

It took me almost 40 years to figure out that it's easier to be prepared than to clean up!

Lol, I don't want to get copyrighted on the music, so I'll just light something on fire for some more drama!

I am seriously dreading pulling that hose out...

I would think about pulling a pulling tape forward when you remove that hose to pull the other back. If there are cable ties in your tunnel, it could be fun. FWIW: If you take up the floorboards, you can get to another 18" or so of the hose pile, leaving you with just the Bermuda Triangle through the hydraulic tank.

My plan B would be a field installable replacement fitting, and a short coupling hose to make up the distance...

Good luck!

All the best,

Peter

With the amount of hoses already replaced, I'm hoping that any hidden ties are ready cut and any new ties are easily accessible.

I originally thought I was going to have a hose made on specs, couple the ends and pull it through with the old hose, but the hoses or dimensions aren't in my parts book anywhere.

You have a parts book?

You have a parts book?

What is this Pa-arts b-oo-k you speak of?

 

[AVIVIII]

You have a parts book?

It not extensive, but helpful.

 

[MossRoad]

OK, I have something similar for my 2001 PT425.

Lol, thanks for the phonic spelling, now i know how to pronounce that.

Lol, thanks for the phonic spelling, now i know how to pronounce that.

I've been puzzling on AVIVIII's handle until the recent posts. I think it is all in how your pronounce it. I had been thinking Roman style A-6-8, or A-5-4-3. This week, after years of puzzling, I came around to just one Roman numeral. Just call me slow; I'm the one in the corner with the pointy hat... Of course, I could still be wrong...

All the best, Peter

Sorry, no pic, but neighbor stopped by with a trailer so i could load up the power trac to take to his place and spread some soil they had delivered. They commented on how cute it was.

They also compared it to a Kubota that had spread the prior load. The PT was much faster, easier on the lawn etc, and it sure beats a wheelbarrow.
