If you have a infrared thermal thermometer, take a reading of the wires, the starter, and the solenoid as you are trying to start it. With that much of a voltage drop, the infrared should pinpoint the bad connection pretty quick.

3 volts? When you say you checked the voltage at the starter, was that the large gauge wire coming directly from the battery to the starter solenoid, or is that the short connection from the solenoid to the starter itself? That is a 75% voltage drop. Something should be screaming hot with...

That was a pretty nice machine. It went for $$8900.

Make sure the engine has a solid ground strap connection from the engine to the frame.

I have been contemplating selling off my John Deere tractor and implements and buying a track loader with high flow hydraulics. I have a few acres of pasture land, but the majority of my farm is mature woods. A maintenance nightmare. This past weekend, I got ahold of a Cat 289D3 with a 60...

Glad we could be of some assistance.

Did you check the tank under the passenger seat?

I would check the engine ignition pulsers and the wiring going to it. Make sure there are no insulation breaks. Make sure the clearances are correct.

Here is a RTVX 900 coming up for auction here in Middle Tennessee in a couple of weeks. Being a southern model, it shouldn't have any rust on it. I bet the photographer doesn't know that is 1917 miles shown, not hours shown. If anyone is seriously interested, I can take some more detailed...

I would think a good glass shop could heat and shape a piece for you, based off of the other door dimensions.

Government juice. I own no diesels with DEF or a DPF. I am sure, whenever I decide to spring for my track loader, it will have DEF on it. Being it will be strictly used on my farm, I will will find a delete kit for it. DEF is just a waste of HP and fluid, that does nothing for the performance...

If you really want amazing sound out of a small package, just buy a Marshall "Middleton" bluetooth speaker. It is bluetooth capable, has unbelievable bass and highs out of a 9" x 4" x 4" speaker. I use it inside of my RTV, on the boat, in the office, inside the shop, on the hot tub deck and at...

I think our heatwave finally broke. Since August 30th, we have received 2.06 inches of rain. Yesterdays temps were in the mid 80's, today will be the same and by the end of this week, we will be in the upper 70's for a high. I can live with these temps. Still a little nervous about firing up...

Plexiglass is brittle and will easily break or shatter in cold weather. Lexan will work and is tough, but it scratches easily. Glass shop is a good option. They should be able to cut and form a piece of safety glass for you.

I find it hard to believe that the county I live in, which is bordered in black, is stating we are not in a drought condition. That is true weather observation from an office chair.

On the way home from work today, a storm front was moving in and most of the leaves on the trees were coming off in large amounts. It looked like a snow blizzard, but in leaves. Many of the trees are shedding their leaves. it won't be a colorful fall season this year. What leaves that...

We finally just got a break from the heat. It was close to 100 and now it is 72. We had over 1.5 inches of rain come down in 45 minutes.

It's 101F outside right now in Middle Tennessee. For the whole month of August, we have only had .46 inches of rain. We haven't had any since the 15th of August. This is very unusual for Middle Tennessee. Normally ,we are around 45-48 inches of rain for the year by the end of August. We are...

The temp has actually been very nice this past week. Starting tomorrow, that is abruptly ending and the inferno will be back.

I don't believe I have ever seen a 12 VDC arc flash......first time for everything.....
