    Hey, Andrew. I know you always want things done correctly. The voltage at the alternator should be at or a couple tenths + or - of 14 volts. Your voltage to the battery with the engine running should be within .5 volts of the alternator reading. If not, you have connection/wire problems. No way that amount of voltage drop is normal or acceptable. Dirty/corroded electrical connections, especially at the ground points will cause endless headaches. I recommend ScannerDanner's channel. He has good videos on dropped voltages due to corroded connections.

    • @kinecty111
      @kinecty111 ปีที่แล้ว +36

      I replace lots of charge wires for this exact reason. Sometimes they get water runs down inside the insulation and rots a small spot deep inside the wire you can't see.
      Easiest way to check is to throw one jumper cable from the alternator to the battery and recheck your voltage. If it comes up to the alternator voltage you know that wire is bad.
      If you get good with the electrical tools it gets easier.
      With the engine running measure voltage between the alternator positive stud and the battery positive stud. You will measure the amount of voltage drop aka current loss in that wire. Shouldn't be more than .4v absolute maximum with all the lights and accessories on.

    • @Watchyn_Yarwood

    For the gas drip out the overflow line, check that the tiny spring loaded plunger that is on one end of the needle valve.
    Make sure that it's still there and that it works properly -----
    The float shuts off the flow from the tank when the float rises with the bowl level and moves the rubber end of the needle into it's seat...if the the tiny spring doesn't return the plunger to full extension or if it's missing, bent or is stuck while depressed in the needle it will allow the bowl level to rise too far, thus the excess gas flows out the overflow line.

    It's funny, when watching the 'I bought a mountain' video, it crossed my mind how many trees you were cutting down. This comes from a New Englander who has no really problem in doing so, but there was something in me that, for some reason, had a reaction to it. That opening drone shot just shows how it's only a drop in a bucket. Reminds me when my grandpa told me that in the 1700s it was 90% farm land and 10% trees but now it's flipped. Truly awe inspiring seeing the vast sea of green your surrounded by, and that you could double the trees you've cut and it'd still be twice nothing haha.

Trees the perfect size and lots of different hardwoods to mill, for log houses, lumber, firewood, posts, fuel for syngas. It all can be consumed. I wish I owned a square mile with a mountain in the middle, the Hudson bordering. Valleys for grass for cows, horses , pigs. Enough timber to sell, harvest for cabins buildings, for fuel.

I enjoy all of your videos even though I only know where to put gas into my car and windshield fluid and not really an interest in knowing more. But you make mechanic work look fun because you passion shines through! Thank you for all you do!

    I see you fighting with machine batteries often. Had an old stubborn 85 JD 210 4wd. Best advice I got from an old farmer friend is to hook the battery tender to tractor and zip tie it there on machine.
    I’m up north east and having a quick plug makes life so much easier.
    The tender keeps topped off and it never struggled again even in a blizzard.
    Love content!! Thanks for all you have taught me :-)

    Some voltage drop is to be expected if there's a large current draw. You could reduce the drop by using thicker wires, but it shouldn't be too problematic.

    • @LesNewell
      @LesNewell ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Ideally the alternator output wire should go directly to the battery. You get quite a bit of voltage drop through that long wire that goes up to the ammeter then back down to the battery. I'd guess that it originally had a dynamo. It will still charge, just more slowly than if the wire went directly to the battery.

    👍👌👏 Very well done again (video and work). You're definitely good with the drone. 2) Maybe putting some grease nipples on the pedal bases to lube the axle would help to handle the dozer. Unfortunately penetration oil doesn't last long as a lubricant.
    Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
    Best regards luck and health to all of you (including the wonderful dogs of course).

    Andrew, great video as always! Nothing better than waking up with a notification of a new video from you! Seriously you blow away 99.9% of everything produced by everyone IMHO. No fake drama, no BS. Question, in the start of the video you are working on the Honda ATV carb, were those harbor freight tools and if so, how do you like them? Then when you are vacuuming out the bulldozer it appears you have a shopvac and 5 gallon bucket as the collection base? What is this setup, I have never seen that done before. That is a fantastic idea for nasty stuff! Hope all is well.

    • @portergieske
      @portergieske ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Home depot has a vac called bucket head that uses the 5 gallon as the base. Simple and easy to use, but loud AF. $30. Good for messy jobs. If you want more functionality than that - look at the dust deputy for long time use.
