maybe nothing I would first check the grounds and the battery connections , sounds like a high resistance connection(got voltage but when applying a load no amps, voltage falls). There has been problems with the key switches even new. There was some old posts about taking the glow plugs and starter off the switch and putting them on dedicated relays . Those both are good ideas even if all you do is one you will benefit .
Yep, did the Glow plug circuit relay when assembling the tractor out of crate, need to do the starter circuit next. Every year at least once I have to take every connection in that circuit apart and clean it. :wacko:
I’ve looked into Solar City and others. Unfortunately none of the credits apply if you are on a co-op, I guess because there’s nobody at a for profit company getting a kickback. :scratch: The only reason I mentioned the Nissan Leaf is I was checking out used ones and there was one in the Portland area, a 2015, loaded lease return with 4,000 miles on it for $15,000. But I like the 200 mile range idea, around here I can do that or more in a day without trying very hard.
There’s a company in Bend that collects cooking oil and chicken grease from restaurants all over Central Oregon to make this stuff. Sure beats pouring it into the ground or whatever they were doing with it before.
I’ve been kicking around the idea of an electric for deliveries. I’d want to do the charging at home though as I can put solar on my house ( I’m not about to do that on a leased building ). Besides the business is on Pacific Power, The home on Central Electric Coop, about 20% less. The Bolt I could lease and write off, or maybe a used Nissan Leaf for 10-15,000 :unsure: What say anyone?
Holy cow! Did your place get flooded? Before I start ordering parts I’d look for a used one with a blown engine, might save you time and money :unsure:
You’re not getting any feedback, I’m just up the road and would be willing to test drive one for you for say, 6 months? 😉
To be honest I’ve never even looked under the dash but it’s obvious you’re getting water in there somehow. Either that or the water that’s been in there since the boat ride over here that caused your bearing failure in the first place never got completely removed. :scratch:
Sounds familiar. Big R sold nuts and bolts by the pound, Coastal sells a much smaller selection in blister packs. And more clothes. Big R used to have the best selection of chain and hooks around. Coastal has almost nothing. And more clothes. Big R had a large selection of welders. Coastal has, well you get the idea.
In Oregon we have Wilco stores, and Coastal, who swallowed up a three store chain known as Big R a couple months ago. I went to the Coastal store Saturday. The 6″ auger TSC doesn’t sell online was 62.45 less at Coastal after 10% off. I also picked up a 9″ for 32.00 less than the one I can’t buy online, and they threw in a 20.00 gift card to boot. :good: Now to put them to use, I have 150′ of fence to put up.
