The old one could not feed back to the grid. The output voltage was never designed to sense and adjust to an ever increasing (devious) grid voltage ⚡️. Therefore, it burned a circuit board (the exact module escapes me a.t.m.) inside which is about $400 to replace. I did the replacement in a previous video. The new inverter is designed for grid feedback and should sense and respond to higher voltages. I'll upload the new video showing results after installation soon.

Thanks for the add. More solar, tractor, and renewable energy videos coming!

@ You’re welcome 👍

Very true! Gave her a break today using Petlac.

😅

Awesome! Makes a huge difference, right?

Why not?

@ I bought them “just in case.” I’ve never really needed to.

Aren't they?! Thank you!

@@CivilRepair Happy New Year 🎉 Respect 👊 👊

Thanks for the great tips and insight! I am going to try to get it running soon. It may be a while before I get around to making a video of the progress.

I really appreciate the add! And... You are absolutely correct! If you carefully search my old videos, there's a view of what happened to my 1800 psi pressure washer. The switch rusted out. Maybe we should start hand washing these things. 😆

I keep my presssure washer outside, but I always keep the plug with the switch on it inside out of the weather. Those things are not water tight.

Hey thanks for asking! It's a 56V nominal voltage ⚡️. Here is a link to the exact part. www.partswarehouse.com/MTD-Charger-56V-Li-650-MTD-725-17057-p/MTD-725-17057.htm?Click=365719&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA7NO7BhDsARIsADg_hIYcdCM0yARheD-7L3FcZZPJW09SR_S_3JU8AV12iO82OnKDoI_3jD4aAgSOEALw_wcB Remember if you want to charge your nominal voltage 56v battery, you will need a higher voltage than that to force electrons to flow in reverse. Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more solar videos coming soon.

Thanks for the visit

Unfortunately the videos are broken up into shorts. I have been unable to find time to edit the long version. But in the meantime please check out the following videos to get an idea of how it's done. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXimemB9hs1rZs0si=nJHygZvJOPw4Ekol kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYu6nWCEr5KZfqMsi=xXIXvTqiFbHKAwEz kzbin.infooJ6WihtI9_Q?si=m4zBwzC8JKdS1cz1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWHLZ6yNqd9-e5Ysi=hklpH7tUb_NCZcdp kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaexhIJrjq9qepYsi=OUAzNaN3PXQIG9hx kzbin.infoEYF-5ZseClI?si=dQKHGhK6FFr6WaNM kzbin.infoEWcAMIZBXq8?si=C35e90imFo1ub6hU Ice also posted on comments with journal articles with the procedure. Sadly my journal article is still in response and is not published yet. Possibly soon. Again, Thanks for watching! I hope all this helps.

True. My buddy and I agreed that that might be a great excuse to change old parts since we go out to sea (saltwater fishing ) with her. Thanks for watching.

😂😅

I definitely don't have Tesla cash yet. But used Nissan cash i can do.

I believe that may be a Service technician item but you can try contacting cub cadet directly and speak with customer service "with confidence" lol Thanks for watching

Guess it depends on the height of the ramps because the deck needs to have no weight on it (resting on the ground) to slide the levers off the pins easily. But if that works for you great!

Glad it helped!

Cool. You should make some videos. The Yugoslavian fan club will watch.

Ah. Maybe I could make a video on this topic. The IMT-539, a Serbian-made tractor produced by Industrija Mašina i Traktora (IMT), arrived in the USA, including Florida, through a combination of historical events and commercial factors. 1. Yugoslav Era Exports: IMT was a major agricultural machinery producer in the former Yugoslavia and had a strong presence in Eastern Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. In the 1980s, Yugoslavia was non-aligned and had trade ties with both the Eastern and Western blocs. IMT tractors, including the 539 model, were exported globally, particularly to countries seeking reliable and affordable machinery. 2. Demand for Affordable Tractors: In the U.S., especially in states like Florida with vast agricultural lands, there was a need for smaller, rugged, and cost-effective tractors, particularly for small farms and niche agricultural uses. The IMT-539, being a versatile and affordable model, found a market in the U.S. 3. Post-Yugoslavian Trade Networks: After the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, Serbian companies continued exporting, maintaining the trade networks built during the Yugoslav period. Serbian immigrants and businesses in the U.S. may have also played a role in bringing these tractors into the market. 4. Dealerships and Distributors: Over time, U.S. distributors and dealerships began importing the IMT-539 tractors to supply the American market. These tractors were particularly attractive to smaller farming operations that didn't need high-tech, larger, and more expensive tractors from well-established brands. In Florida, where agricultural production includes diverse crops and smaller farms, the IMT-539 could meet the demand for a simple, reliable, and low-cost tractor. Some models were likely imported via specific distributors or through niche agricultural equipment dealers who recognized the market for these types of tractors.

Yes it is!

Yes it is!

I've heard that ppl call it that! Yes

1982 yes! Johnson Seahorse. 200hp. 2 stroke

@@CivilRepair smells like vacation!

The specification is 92 to 130 lb-ft of torque which my air hammer is set to the second lowest setting (which by my calculations is in that range). I may do an update to this video because of your comment. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Wow I'm really sorry to hear that. I actually had a different experience. They have an address here in the continental US that I have sent and recieved items from. If I'm honest, it really does take a long time, but they were polite and tried their best to be fair with my customers. I've repaired inverters, batteries and MOSFETs inside the inverter units all of which needed shipping back and forth from their US location. Have you tried a US- based company?

If your inverter still works, I would recommend buying the new part and sorting out a payment dispute using your credit card company. Sometimes you have to pay "hardball".

My guess is that you have a belt that's too large. Check the exact belt number for your mower. Sometimes the newer replacement belts are designed to be slightly smaller than the original number belt. You should use the replacement belt length.

Honestly it is still down and I haven't found a suitable replacement. I was searching for a US-based manufacturer to try but that came up dead due to price. So I'm still looking for a new inverter. I will definitely make an update video on the progress since we now have the batteries we need to draw enough for the AC amps.

@@CivilRepair cool/// may the solar be with you

I did get it running well then Q1 and Q10 blew on the MOSFET. I need a new inverter but I'm feeling the pinch financially. I'm looking for a 18000w to 20000w inverter.

@@CivilRepair its the second time you blow up that inverter you have to be doing some wrong i have the aims inverter 24v 4000w 120v for years with no problem and also a 24v 3000w 120v running for years with no problem,,,i dont use them and more.now i have just 1////10000w 240v@48v using.....i never push an inverter to its max may be thats the reason why my inverters always last me long apart from if i want to upgrade....never push your equiments to its max.how ever you are not the only one many people blow up there system because of abuse...may the solar be with you...

I have this exact cable I cut to make the cable that runs from battery bank to the inverter. www.autozone.com/test-scan-and-specialty-tools/jumper-cables/p/duralast-battery-booster-cable-20ft/125337_0_0?cmpid=LIA:US:EN:AD:NL:1000000:BAC:19488533492&&CATARGETID=120054150001289263&CADevice=m&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwqMO0BhA8EiwAFTLgINx2RzGsrIwQbrxf4m-d0zW56izOd59F9WyiuGg32UGQOF4HsnOWoRoC1WIQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds This cable is 2 guage copper multi conductor strands and produces no heat when on. The limit by my calculations should not be this cable. I'm still perplexed as to what could be the cause of the mosfet blowing twice. Also, the last burning happened at night while not even using the inverter. I believe I was charging the batteries to prepare for a tropical storm.

@@CivilRepair it’s junk

By the way, I have the final verdict on the old inverter. It was not grid-feedback-capable like the manufacturer claimed, so it was overpowered by the grid. I will do another video showing the difference between a true grid-tie / grid-feedback inverter to explain the issue. Cable sizing was larger than necessary for the load (DC and AC sides). Also the jumper cable is 0 guage cable and copper material. It is not cheap! Check your local Duralast brand 20 ft jumper cable size, you'll see that it is designed to handle high amperage for engine starting, which is more than enough to handle 100 amps to the inverter.

@ happy for you

I would like to know what I might be doing wrong. Engineers at Sungold Power reviewed my setup on video and don't know. The cable sizes are good. No heat build up at all.

I see your point. I replaced the battery on this one for $1500 plus 2 hours of my labor. New mowers cost $2000, roughly for gas mowers. Now I have a $4000 mower that should last for another 3 years (if nothing breaks).

@@CivilRepair I have a lot number of Ryobi tools and I can pick up deals on the batteries. But the ones for a mower that would work on my yard are still expensive. I had an electric 60v Craftsman mower a few years ago and enjoyed it being quieter. However, my grass (zoysia) got really thick and it wouldn't cut well enough for me.
