Bearings also fail on washers…. My old GE unit had non replaceable bearings. Had to trash the unit.

Glad you got it fixed. I only use that lock when i remove loader so i dont dead head hydraulic pump

Its a simple latch that moves in or out

Hmm, i know my dk45 has a latch mechanism that locks all handle functions. Ive hit it accidentally a few times…..

It did mean more conduit runs cause it messed with wire fills……..

Yes…. Its done all the time. when i was heavy into industrial and commercial wiring, the company i was with transitioned into running a separate neutral with each leg in conduit due to all the problems we were seeing in completed projects. In the schools we wired, the plans specified separate...

this is especially noticeable in houses that use a common neutral wire with 2 load wires. in other words using 2 different circuits that share a neutral. cheap electricians do this all the time to save wire costs. but it can be very dangerous if you drop the neutral. in commercial jobs, 3...

I have a friend that hauls a mini excavator in his large dump trailer…and i swear ive never seen him strap it down. I think hes nuts.

Is there any way to chain that in?

On my unit, i tighten everything a few months after buying tractor. They have never loosened up again….i check regularly all the time. except for those pesky bolts that hold the pivot pin/grease zerk fittings on loader. Those bolts always loosen up. But there not strategically significant for...

They could have, but a fully charged battery is supposed to not freeze until -80°F according to exide technology….or so they say. But a discharged unit can freeze at 32° or so. but i have my doubts as to the truth to this.

I just read an interesting blog on how to recharge odyssey batteries. Apparently you hook two batteries in parallel to fool charger. https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/agm-battery-charging/ https://www.odysseybattery.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/ProceduretorecoverdeeplydischargedODYSSEY.pdf

Ive been told that an odyssey battery if allowed to go completely dead cannot be recharged….lhave not yet tested this myself. I reciently had a client that self installed a gen not hook up the new required neutral and his brand new odyssey died after a week or so. He told me he tried recharging...

Thats what im thinking. Just unplugging it wont work. Id have to see a schematic to figure it out

It thinks pto is engaged, so wont start. Im not sure just unplugging pto will fix issue. Some if these units wont work if a circuit is unplugged. I take it the pto is electric switch and not a lever?
