Thanks. When I used to work at the bobcat dealer years ago, I had many notebooks full of notes from most every machine I worked on. Thats where I started to do it. when its in writing then there is almost no question. If you take good notes. lol
Good morning from Kentucky! Love the channel. I’m glad I’m not the only one who had to walk away from projects when they don’t go my way lol. I’m sure it’ll all make sense sooner than later.
Thank you for watching our channel. The hardest part is knowing when to walk away sometimes. lol. I haven't got back to it as of yet. Been a little to cold in the shop to work without the heater Running. LOL
Whoa, a cliff hanger! We got a new welder for Xmas and haven't even played with it yet, the thought of being in an unheated garage isn't appealing with these single digit daytime temps. Stay warm guys!
Ya it is. Next is to figure out is it the meters I'm using or is it in fact the alternator. It's a pretty simple system. It should not be near this difficult. LOL. No, it's not at all. Just came in from outside. The suns shining but still hasn't warmed up all that much it feels like. But some things still just have to get done.
Good morning Matt, Hope you have a good day. Hoop house I built to prevent our Dragon fruit plants from freezing is doing its thing. Set one radiant heater and a Torpedo Heater on low, 45 inside 23 outside.
Thats great to hear. Hopefully it continues to work out. How many more days are they forecasting blow normal for you? It was 3 degrees when I got up this morning at 5am. Its only 5 degrees. They surprisingly canceled school today for us and a few other districts in our county. No snow just the cold.
@@Cobbhillfarms Our schools were closed yesterday. We are all wussies because it rarely never freezes in our area. We are done with the cold, it will be 77 in two days. Have a great day Matt.
If the alternator/generator is up under the hood, then I have no issues putting an alternator on it. So much easier and cheaper to do it that way. But if the generator is mounted to the side of the engine like on the A, B, C and Supers then I will utilize the generator housing and have the internals converted to 12 volts. I like to preserve the stock appearance. My wide front generator is converted to 12 volts. although it's not charging at this time. Suspect the voltage regulator is bad from the quick 2-minute testing I did on it awhile back.
That old cap on the hyd stand pipe should of had a breather your soild plug you put back in will hold a vacum on the system i had it do it to me on a farmall h , just make sure you have some type of vent on the resivor
You are 100 percent right on that. I just went out and looked. It's there indeed. Thanks for pointing that out. I will probable do a 90 degree elbow and a short pipe with that breather cap. I don't like the looks of that pipe assy sticking way up in the air like it did.
Good morning, -18F around 8am. Your meter dilemma reminds me of a woodworking problem I had with carpenter squares...you know something isn't right but is it square 1 or square 2 or maybe the wood...then I walked away for a bit!
Now that's cold. I only had 3 degrees when I got up at 5am. It's warmed up some now. Even with the sunshine it's still feels chilly if your outside for any length of time. I'm more inclined to believe the meter that I have had for several years and have used more than the new one that I have only used a hand full of times. Plus, the new one I hate to admit is a cheap harbor freight deal. But we shall see in short order when I barrow another good known meter and compare readings.
good job on taking notes, the old saying A short pencil, is better than a long memory.

I had the same SM with no power steer.
I have grown fond of the power steering on it that's for sure
