And you'll have the July 4th weekend to play with it. :drink:
If only! Sadly, I won't have the 4th to play with it because the tractor will be sitting around on my driveway giving my neighbors something else to look at while waiting for parts, puzzle-it-out-time, and install-time before I haul it 200 miles north. Over the 4th, I'll be tractorless at the Nevis Pig Races with the Most Interesting Man Alive, one of the many things our little municipality does to make Nevis the center of north woods entertainment for many summer vacationers.
Tractorwise, I need to determine the thread pitch and fitting type so I can get a line made, and buy the adaptors I need to get a DO5 series sub plate and three position spring centered open center solenoid valve installed. I asked about the thread pitch on the Kioti operating forum, but people thought I was trolling. I need to tap into the power beyond line in series to get a third function working. Nevertheless, until I have the tractor, I don't know where I will mount the valve body or how to route hoses. I also need to either fab up or have made hard lines for the same project on the loader with quick disconnects in case I drop the loader off the tractor.
While I'm at it, I plan on trying to set up a ECU controlled engine accelerator as well on the joystick on a trigger switch but I need to tractor so I can back probe reference voltages before I breadboard the circuit I need to get the ECU to accelerate the engine on a trigger switch. I've poured over service manual, control systems and wiring diagrams, and mapped out what I could learn from them, but Kioti doesn't offer information on "hacking" their engine control systems. It be nice if the dealer would let me use their scan software, but I think they'd be freaked out that I'd still be back probing everything and charting frequencies and reference voltages to then duplicate with a breadboard that works on the push on one single momentary button. Toward that end, I plan to sacrifice a Cat Wheel loader joystick for the joystick handle.
I've also got to pop in the FM radio, 2-way radio, add some 12v power points, a video monitor, two cameras and extra LED spot lights.
I needed this thing on my new development six weeks ago and so I'm super behind where I thought I'd be on clearing.
