Thx for watching, hang in there.

Thanks for watching!

TH-cams AI reply feature wants me to tell you "You can't go wrong with a case, they last forever, but have lots of weak points." But i think thats a bit too generous. Im sure they were a joy to be the first owner but im always the last owner of a machine so my feedback is usually pretty harsh. Its the most crowded little tractor you can find.

@certifiedhoarder I'm not a large person so that may not bother me. I don't know mechanics well so I'm more concerned with the starter and steering issues. I'll check this stuff over now

@@fattonyd232 the front axle rocker pin is also a bad design. The pin is huge but it just goes through some sheetmetal with no bushings and that will wollow out. Theres a company who makes a weld on repair. If the axle rocks fore and aft when you rock the wheel the pivot is sloppy. Then theres the teeth on the steering comb and ofcoarse the starter being super aggravating to get at. Youve gotta pull a lot of stuff to fix any of that. Any of the deere H3s or cub hydros have been better to me. I would take a kohler K321 over any onan. And a sunstrand hydro (deere/cub) over a case hi drive.

@certifiedhoarder thanks the info is much appreciated 👍

@@fattonyd232 best of luck bud

Nah its just one of those projects ill save until old age just to be sure i dont have to golf or watch birds to escape boredom. I glanced im the box last week.. that counts right? Your generator does sound like it would have done the job. I have a few gas powered stick welders sitting here that need to get some attention so i can figure out what runs. One may end up becoming a 3point pto unit if the motor is smoked. i really could use a portable welder.

I understand. Years ago i was finally in a counselors office, willing to take an antidepressant over the problems in my first marriage to a borderline who manipulated me with chronic suicide threats. He listened to my whole story in complete silence, then said something i will never forget. "I just celebrated my 25th wedding anniversary." My jaw dropped at his callousness. "....to my 2nd wife." He was saying divorce her dude. And i did. Then my 2nd wife roped me much the same. 14 yrs later i divorced her. Both were cheaters. Yesterday was my 3 month anniversary with my lovely, smokin hot new gf that neither of those other wives were ever gonna be. There is life after divorce. Hurt a lot for a little while, or hurt a little every day until you die. Choose.

Well i had tried to make a solar fence charger from common junk. So it was a truck battery, an ignition coil, a 4 pole relay turned into a high speed oscillator using a resistor and capacitor to set the freqency.. and eventually i put some china voltage amplifier infront of the coil. The cheap amplifier experienced a thermal runaway and was putting putting out a continual high frequency shock of 13,000 volts at 10amps. Suitable for a supermax prison, but lethal to a baby goat that gets caught in a portable fence.

@certifiedhoarder wow i saw 13kV on your tester and heard all the electrical noise. i couldnt figure it out. ive been having good luck with gallagher s20 its been going non stop now for 3+ years. its light and portable but not big enough for heavy weed loads on long runs

Glad you think so!

Glad it helped

Yes thats true. Its just a demonstration of how hiring the right tool for the job translates into savings for the customer through efficiency. I did about 20 trees on that job.

Praise Jesus! So glad to hear this, thank you

I made it 12.5 days and felt fine but then ate a dang cookie during a mini crisis stress event and from there i was like nope, im done with this one. I didnt wanna have to say i did a "40 day water only plus 1 cookie" for the rest of my life. Someday i will try again, it was a great experience that profoundly changed me. Thanks for asking! God bless

You are welcome

I charge $150/hr and make my living with the machine. The vid is just demonstrating what value you get when you use the right tool for the job.

You think $150/hr isnt high enough? I have been on that property for days. Its demonstrating how efficient a dozer and tree spear is for the landowner.

It turns out im a FA, and i experience the full range under varying circumstances. From anxious at one extreme to dismissive at the other, with secure in the middle which is where im trying to stay.

Well start with a can of wd40 with the straw and hosing it all up in the key cylinder and all around any column access crack. Itll turn easy when you hit it. If not youll break a little link that i hear is a B**** to change. My guess you arent getting 12vdc to tbe coil or the ground wire on the other side has lost continuity. Im not able to say for sure why yours aint working but a bad key switch will cut the juice to the coil for sure.

Glad it helped

Be careful. Be sure any wood youre counting on is sound. Catch the chips and inspect color for rot on that first cut.

It takes a second or two for the starter bendix to kick out and start rolling the crank over, or it takes a few seconds of cranking to fire?

@certifiedhoarder it doesn't make a cranking sound right away. It takes a few seconds, then it starts to crank up ND starts.

@@Badger.008 thats a wierd one, ya got me. Neutral safety is only other thing in that circuit i think. Its on the trans for automatics

@certifiedhoarder okay, my truck is an automatic. I'll keep messing with it, I feel like it has to do with the wires. They are original. Thanks anyway!

Im guessing there is a blown fuse feeding power into the ignition switch, or a burnt wire, or the neutral safety switch on the trains has failed or been pulled off by something. The power flows from the neutral safety to the ignition switch. NSS is upstream of the key in other words

@@certifiedhoarder fuses are good under the dash checked all and noticed no power to the fuse panel either will NSS cause that also? Going to change it out regardless just because it a 1985

@@blackinvestmentgroup no power to the main distribution panel is probably your issue but im not familiar with the input side of it at all. Sorry

Yes it was!

Glad it was helpful!

It really really helped me dump my shame based identity. Life is good

Thank you so much for the kind words miss Gavin.. just trying to be my authentic self once i figure out who that is!

Wow, thanks! Mine may be an NPD so my opinions may have been a bit to an extreme side of the spectrum!

Really? How so?

Same question Did you figure it out?

Welcome aboard!

@@certifiedhoarder DA not FA, right?
