Engine won't crank or start. Bad battery, alternator, or current draw?
Will it start? Let's troubleshoot electrical to make my Bobcat T300 engine crank and start (again) in cold weather. After having engine no start issues for a couple years (only when cold), it's time to fix it.
I suspect a bad battery and it needs replaced, but before jumping to that conclusion, let's also test the alternator current output to ensure it's working. And, let's also test for electrical current draw while the key is off, to ensure nothing is draining the battery.

    For what its worth I would add one step based on my personal experience with my 22 ram. After your first or second prime cycle check for leaks. Especially with the engine bay filter. The O ring on that housing is easy to install crooked on the back side where you cannot see it. If that happens you will have a mess so better to catch on the first prime cycle and just a good idea to check for leaks anyway before you do a number of cycles

    • @LearnedFromDad
      @LearnedFromDad 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Ahhhh, yes, that's a great point about leak checks. I always keep the used oring until I'm confident there are not leaks, just in case. The used ones often seem a little stretches after being removed, but better to have something than nothing if something goes sideways. Thanks for sharing!

    Have you tried checking and changing out the fuel filter in that machine. Check the ground wires and power wires on it.,an the body to alternator cause the diode could be bad inside of it now. I'd clean everything off really good with wire brush.,drill and A wire wheel to get A clean metal to metal surface of the loop.,or eyelet connector crimped on to A new wire as A jumper wire to complete the grounding circuit on that machine properly.

    • @LearnedFromDad
      @LearnedFromDad 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It actually does need a service, I've got filters in the garage. I did check the ground for being tight and no visual corrosion, but I didn't remove and clean, at least not yet. Good point on the alternator grounding and diode, I haven't done that yet. Thanks for the suggestion!

    FYI. never trust a switch as a shut off for power. some electricians still run hot wires thru the box that might not be turned off. it may not be smart. but some timed running it like that is faster and cheaper for them to do it like that.

    Will these be OK in an unheated garage in sub-freezing temperature? Why not put a dimmer on the wall switch?

    • @LearnedFromDad
      @LearnedFromDad หลายเดือนก่อน

      I looked back at the Amazon description and I couldn't find any temp ratings. I went ant looked at one of the fixtures in my garage and it indicates only a max operating temp of 40 degrees Celsius. So, I'm not 100% sure sure on the low end unfortunately. You bring up a good question and point about a dimmer. These ARE dimmable, but it's done by connecting a 0-10v dimmer into the LED driver on the fixture. So, it's not a traditional dimmer where your adjusting the supply voltage into the fixture like an old school light fixture with incandescent bulb. Hope that helped. Thanks for watching!

  • @twistedhillbilly6157
    @twistedhillbilly6157 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Lumen ratings are almost always grossly over-rated.. 150 watts is a lot of power for LED's.... 4000 to 5000 kelvin is too "warm" yellow.. WAGO's (push in or lever type) are much better than wire nuts when using stranded to solid wire....

    • @LearnedFromDad
      @LearnedFromDad หลายเดือนก่อน

      Agree on the lumen comment, always seems variable, even though the numbers may state otherwise. Regarding color, I always look at that like BBQ....the best is the one you like haha. I like whiter light in my shop space, around 5k, but in my home I much prefer a much more yellow look, normally 3k. I didn't mention in the video, but with the original fixtures I put up, I did try the stranded in those pre-installed friction connectors and I could pull it back out quite easily...didn't give me much comfort. Suspect a real Wago would have been better, though I had a pile of wire nuts lying around, just made sure to lead the stranded a bit to ensure it was well seated. You sound very familiar with electrical, are you an electrician? Cheers!

    These alligator jaw universal wrenches were incredibly common dating back to the American civil war and dominated before crescent debuted adjustables around 1910ish and for some time after as a cheaper alternative. They were used on steam locomotives and boats as well as early submarines a lot because the jaws could work as a pipe wrench as well as turn a nut. A great deal of nuts back then were square head instead or hex. They're still found in antique stores. They were much chunkier back then though, these are very very thin bu comparison. That's the only real upside to those that I can see; if you need a wide variety of super thin wrenches and can't afford a whole set I could see owning these for a while.

    • @LearnedFromDad

    I liked the video but the real problem with bolts are the hundreds of metric bolts that come with almost anything you get from China and they even have hex heads. How do we know the size of these 1/4 inch or smaller that comes with the kits like from IKEA~? Some of the heads are round, some are flat and some are countersunk. Thanks for the Info~!!

    Have you ever made your own furniture?

      You know, I haven't. I'm always moving in fast forward and would say I make a better rough carpenter than finish carpenter 😆 I did want to mill up some of those logs, and may still, but didn't really have specific plans. More that it would be fun to do/try/learn. Are you a wood worker?

      @LearnedFromDad, I believe you can do it. You have the right equipment and the necessary dexterity. I'm not currently pursuing that, but I would have loved to learn. In junior college, I made a dovecote in my 3D art class. Fortunately, my partner had a strong understanding of woodworking because her dad was a carpenter. She helped me understand the diagram and the different saws needed for the proper cuts. I learned much more from her than I did from the teacher!

      ​@mbergheaud a forestry friend (retired) of mine built a hand laid cedar canoe. It was beautiful. Something like that, which would keep me outside, would be really fun. Someday!

    With regard to the Crescent pass-through socket set, I find the 150mm / 6” socket extension a handy addition to the set and the Gear Wrench extension is compatible the Crescent wrench set.

      @@LearnedFromDad Hi James. Great tribute for your dad. I personally tend favour videos covering tool review's, restoration or repair on machinery, or general DIY. Thanks
