  • The coolant temp alarm came on while I was running my mini digger, the gauge was showing low temp so I knew there must be a fault somewhere, turned out to be a blown diode.

    If you took it to a shop, they would hand you a bill for 2 grand and they would say it was fixed but it wouldn't be fixed. When you brought it back a second time, they'd say it was junk and you need to buy a new mini excavator. Great job Marty.

Same story takes place in Germany where car garages and other specialized supply stores would tell you that they can "order it from the other store" but fortunately they won't charge you for it. That's only because it would lose them a customer to eBay or other online stores if they would.

    Well done Marty!. I am still trying to get my head around these diodes and capacitors and do play around with them trying to stop throwing things out with circuit boards that have a problem. Obviously, the main thing is to have parts to fall back on, which you have. Understand how a circuit board works is also a big problem but once you get your head around it a lot of money is saved. The unbeleivable thing about circuit board circuitry if a diode or similar blows, to change out and the cost for the componets is sometimes just 50cents! Better than having to try and get a replacement board for many hundreds of $'s. Regards

    Easy fixed. Nothing is ever easy, you just make it look easy.

    Hey Marty! "Nice easy fix" haha,,,, maybe for you, but for some of us - like me - the diode thing is way out of our league! Thanks for sharing!

    Good job. It took skill to trace the problem but you have to give a nod to luck with regard to finding a circuit board with a diode of sufficiently similar value. I rarely have that kind of luck but I guess that’s what makes you the junk whisperer of all NZ. A pleasure to watch, as always. Looking forward to see the mill set up and making fine timber. 🥸🎆💨👀🔨🔧👍✅
