Thanks!

Thank you. I agree, but the main purpose of me doing this was to trade in the truck with the better bed so I didn't think it would be worth the effort.

I am not sure.... It is possible they changed the programming in them so you have to actually use the tool. But that is just a theory.

@@MusicandTractors I feel like they were making an attempt to fix things and took things apart then realized there was alot of work there and just threw it all back together and said "no my problem anymore"

​@@fixer2u🤣

@@RJ9mechwhat's the joke?

@@fixer2u you did a great job putting life back in this old tractor.

@@MusicandTractors Thank you! It was fun! I cant wait to finish getting it operational!

I would try and run a charge cycle again on it... It is possible that one of the individual batteries in that cell is junk...

You are probably right. I never did a followup but it didn't work. On the larger crack, it actually cracked through the flexpaste.

Same! Love it!

Are you talking about the mounting holes on top of the winch?

@@fixer2u yessir.

Thank you!

@@stephenmcconnell4302 I hope it helps!

Good question.. I would think not. That seems like an issue with failing of the individual batteries in the cells.

IT does take a long time. You can turn the mah up from what I listed in the video. I use 2000 on my charger now. But it still takes a while.

I don't think my charger goes above 500

But it charging it. Went from 3.55 to 4.15 in almost 24 hours

@@waterstruck1917 Oh iISee. Yeah that will take a while then. What charger do you have?

@@waterstruck1917 Ooof yeah that is slow... But alt least it is working!

I do not own a supercharger so cannot speak on it and the standard rapid chargers do not have that feature. Looks like the super chargers are quite expensive at $200! For around $54 people can fix it themselves. The point is, we should not have to need to fix it at all. This is a design flaw plain and simple.

I just purchased my supercharger on Amazon July 2nd $46, Milwaukee 48-59-1808 I watched the charger, while doing other things on my tablet, (This is my take on what I observe not necessarily accurate) Milwaukee M18 batteries with BMS circuits are lot more complex than most people think! To save a few dollars with knocked offs, you're asking for problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The charger light indicator will flash Red while charging then flashing green during maintenance charging The battery fuel gauge won't turn 4 lights, till, (battery is fully equalized, the four lights on the battery turn off, automatically and the charger will be solid green.) The battery while it is still flashing green the battery level will only indicate 3 bars, if you remove and reinsert it into the charger, the charger will not finish equalization. Maintenance mode apparently will not restart until the batteries are discharged. “Note the last paragraph” ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Below is the full description in the 58-14-1808D8, April 24 manual. A fully discharged battery pack with an internal temperature in the normal range will charge in about 30 to 185 minutes, depending on the battery pack. •Heavily cycled batteries may take longer to charge completely. •The Fuel Gauge lights on 18V battery packs are displayed as the pack is being charged, indicating how fully charged the pack is. The fuel gauge will turn off when charging is complete. •After charging is complete, the continuous green light will come on. •The charger will keep the battery pack fully charged if it is left on the charger. The light indicator will flash green during this maintenance charging.

@@keithjohnson3883 Well that is good to know they have that ability. Sad to know you need a special charger to do that... Side Note, be very careful buying ANYTHING Milwaukee on Amazon. They are not a certified retailer of Milwaukee products so anything you buy on there is likely fake. I have watched many reviews on "Milwaukee" products bought on amazon that really look the part, but are indeed fake.

Like anything else you do on Amazon you have to do your research thoroughly​@@fixer2u

What were the banks at? Then what happened after charging ?

It says will is run, not will it float!

@@Bayet56 it was cool running them side by side! Cant beat that flake on a sunny day!

@@brandonbeachy3327 interesting... I have not had that issue before. Does the battery work when you use it in a tool?

No it doesn’t. I can’t seem to reply to your question so I am trying to reply to mine.

It doesn’t charge or run the tool. The only thing I did was first I used another battery to jump it. And it worked but did not last very long. It even charged one time a little bit, but did not go to full charge just three bars. So I decided to try this method and charge up all the banks and it seemed to go perfect. Each one is holding over 4 V now but it is still blinking on the first bar and will not charge. Like It didnt help anything

@@brandonbeachy3327 ok

@@brandonbeachy3327 that is strange, if all the banks are full, I have no idea why it will not go..... Are you sure you got all of them?

Exactly!

Thanks for the correction!

Btw dont try 2 banks at a time lol! Smoked my charger! ​@fixer2u

@@nickb7040 I know! Not good!

Thanks!

I have not had that happen before. Are they not charging at all or are they going very slowly?

@@fixer2u I figure it out. Looks like the 9.0 has a weird bank design.

@@AndrewMcSpadden OK great, glad you got it!

Yeah it has a really low and slow first gear. It never runs out of power that way.

So if they are in spec, what do you consider on the tight side? Also the gears did not seem to have much wear so I sent it. The chain did not seem that bad to me, but I have not done a ton of these so my judgement may be off?

@fixer2u As for the chain slack it looked a little loose. I did a chain and gears on a gen6 big block chevy. The new chain had as much slack as I took off. Bought another one from a different manufacturer and that one was nice and tight. I think the loose one was dyna gear. Second one was cloyes. I try to stick to .0025 for all my clearances. Used to work at a shop and we ran into this alot. We would put the crank on the lathe and polish the journal with a crank polisher to get them all where we wanted them. Albeit we used a mic and not a caliper. But you gotta use what you got. Did you take apart the oil pump and clean the metal out of it or get a new one.

@@tjs_welding_and_fabrication Ahh ok I see. Well like you said, I had to work with what I had. Yeah my caliper measurements may not have been the most accurate. A mic is on my things to get list, just have not gotten there yet! I did clean out the oil pump, there it not seem to be much in there, there were a lot of bigger chunks caught by the screen. I meant to cut apart the filter just so see what was in there, but never got to it. I think I have it laying around still so I may still do that just to see! Thanks for the comments,. For what it's worth, I had the boat out this past week and it ran really well. I got it up to 57 on the lake and no matter how ling I ran it, it held 60psi oil pressure when hot so hopefully it will last me a while!

Ahh interesting! I may try that as well!

Thank you!

Lol why is that?

Very nice!

Glad that worked for you!

Nope. The magnets keep them secured!

What color does it flash?

@@fixer2u Red

​@@fixer2u Red, update I tried boosting but still won't charge. Light still flashing red on charger. I bought the battery used like new on Amazon. When I got it last week it did take a charge but only ran less than 15 mins, for a 12amp that should be 45 mins on a weed trimmer or longer. Should of clued in then. I got a full refund yesterday. I was hoping the batter could be fixed. Lesson don't buy used batteries

@@anthonymacneil2279 wow that is crazy. Are you sure it is even a real milwaukee battery? From what I have seen, all of them on amazon are knock offs.

​@@fixer2uIt was a knock off, the bottom case screws were Philips not torx like the rest. The inside had some weird stuff too on circuit board compared to the real battery. Amazon got a review lol

Good question. I did not have to remove it so I am not exactly sure.

Fuel pump is under the bed on driver side.

@@josephsimon3721 Thanks!

I just used 12 wire and standard electrical end crimps.

Don't know. Just noticed it not going to 4 bars one day.

Hard to say. I have 2 9ah batters that do it and 2 that dont. Plus the 12ah.

They all have their plusses and minuses. I have a few red, green and orange! Like them all.

@@fixer2u I’ve got an Allis G but mostly my stuff is Farmall.

@@deepsouth-piddlin Oh those are cool little tractors!

It is best to charge all the banks to get them equal at as close to 4.2 as you can get.

@@fixer2u I charged all 3 to 4.20 with a 18650 charger.

@@ivallejo1456 That is odd that it would happen again so quickly. I have had to redo mine once every couple of months not right away. There must be a couple really bad individual batteries in there.

@@fixer2u the batery is nearly new. I will do the all over again to see what happens. Thanks

@@ivallejo1456 If the battery is that new, I would suggest trying to warranty it. If you still have the receipt from when you bought it, you should be able to get it taken care of!

The Milwaukee charger are fast chargers only and do not balance the cells. Yes it can happen again unfortunately.

Any other charger that can charge lithium ion batteries like these will work.

The replacements are 240V on Amazon. I read someone used an old cellphone charger cord that was low amps. I’m trying that now.

The cellphone charger works but took five hours to get the voltage from 2.068 to 3.075

@@Marv2049 oh wow that does take while!

Awesome!

The banks run up amd down so where you see the plus minus marks on the plastic, just go straight up.

@@fixer2uI realize that. What I meant was, are the vertical banks insulated from each other somehow? Because from what I gather, when you charged the second bank, you slipped your positive/negative leads in the same way. Adjacent the second vertical battery bank. My question was: that whole metal façade… how is it not pushing voltage to the previous bank as it seems it’s all on the same plate. (Except for the 5th one of course) Maybe a dumb question. Sorry. I’m about to do one of mine based on your tutorial.

@@azazelone905 not a stupid question! Yes the banks are isolated because they are wired in parallel but are in series with the other banks.

Thank you!

Also forgot to add I let the connected batteries sit together for 30 minutes every time… an then I throw the non-working battery on the charger and im back in business battery good as new! I think this could potentially blow up, I’m no electrician, so don’t do it in the kitchen like me lol go outside and stand back for the 30 mins to be safe.. however I don’t think it’s possible for them to blow up do to being the same voltage… It definitely works though saved me tons of money, I’m always stoked when I see someone go to throw away a “non-working battery” I always say “I’ll take it, I scape at the end of every year and they give a tiny bit 4 batteries (not really true lol) I’m tryin to save up some batteries!! hahah jk I always will just help most people an teach umm not to throw them out an I always risk my battery to save theirs lol (too nice) haha Now time to buy the one part to fix my sawzall, really don’t want to fix it though, wanna use it as an excuse to get the hacksaw for my wife… “my sawzall is completely unfixable, time to get the one that works better for plumbing” hahah I mean it’s not like you can ever have too many tools 🤷‍♂️

@@dillongross526 I will try an hour as 30 min didn't do much for me..... What size battery?

I believe that is correct. Trailer is listed at 3400 and to the best of my knowledge the tractor is 4K but I never have weighed it.

Thank you! My 10 year old son actually came up with that for me and it suits me perfectly! lol

Yes that should work as well!

Thanks for the comments. I did not mention that but found the same thing out!

Thanks... No microphone, I'm using my phone so it picks up sound well....

Thank you! I do believe this is a great product!

Well that is one opinion.....
