So winter is really starting to hit. Probably a month early if i'm being honest. I've still had no time to work on the tractor, so i've been relying on the snowblower on the zero turn. As many of you know, that's a prescription for being covered in snow every time you blow. I've been...

Yeah we're pretty similar i think also. Kids birthday was yesterday. i just didn't have the bandwidth after pizza and a beer out.

Yeah, one of the problems is the area we live in, has rust issues. Most shops around us refuse jobs on vehicles over 20 years old. So my support is almost required. We bought in Tennessee and it's been fluid filmed yearly. Rust is not an issue. Shops don't care.

The guide pins worked. We got it lined up and drawn most of the way in

summary - the trans input shaft doesn't want to slide into the clutch disk. i looked at it with bore scope, the clutch splines line up. it's probably slightly misaligned and not dropping into the pilot bearing. if he has no truck, he has no job. it gets worse for me too. i have no solution...

Thank you. Thanksgiving was good, family time with sister and mom. The rest of my vacation, not so much. Kid's truck back on the lift, he's had a transmission issue for a while, clutch slave, and input shaft seal leaking. I pulled it no problem but getting it back in has been a bear. I'm...

Its getting dragged out. i don't know when. It's definitely not #5 lol.

Took a half day to work on the HVAC in the house. Had a pump go bad, and it made the house chilly. Have a 6pm meeting so that pretty much rules out work tonight.

I'm waiting for it too.

I've heard that lots of places. It's not generally true here though.

Massive news incoming before too long. Stay tuned. Same bat channel.

So a quick update, i have been working on the wiring, i've gotten the EV-1 panel swung down so i can see everything, and i moved the negative off the EV-1. Then connected to the other wiring it normally would connect to. Confirmed that the pump motor and contactor work good and ran the lift...

So haven't had time to work on the forklift. Friday afternoon found a cracked wheel on my car, it was bleeding down over a day or so. Tried to find the crack ends to fix it but monday night gave up and put snows on. Turned out to be a good plan, there was black ice all over the place on the...

It's pretty standard ge ev1 scr controls. Just gotta test and find the culprits.

The plot thickens. Trying to connect battery gives a dead short. I started pulling cables looking for the short. I think it's in the scr module.

44F high for us. Comin at ya!

So half day work today, spent some time this afternoon moving the namco further into the shop so it's not blocking the doorway and lift. Mission accomplished. I followed up by bringing the battery in, and the battery charger. I've been looking at the charger and i think based on the only...

No known problems. Guy said nothing leaked and it worked fine. Just bad battery. There's a sketchy hose for the triplex stage needing replaced but i know a guy who can get me a hose cheap... Seals are dry. It's clearly sat inside all its life except for the little bit of rain i had it...

Do they use up water that fast? Never had a non-maintenance free battery.

Yeah at 36v it's probably not that bad really
