I worked for a certain deer dealer about 12ish hours south of you about 10 years ago. At the time, I had less than 2 years' experience at deer, and I was #2 in seniority in the entire shop of 11 guys. I did have nine years at a different brand.. Those were some difficult times at that deer shop. Nobody knew anything.. The service manager and branch manager fired anyone who disagreed with his and her decisions. That's why I enjoy your educated ideas/video. You actually make good sense..

Happy Father’sDay to you ZK. Enjoy your special day this weekend. Same to Joseph if he is married. The first two units you looked at both seemed to have electrical issues. Not saying I totally understand what all you did but you got them going again. Do understand why you put the cabling on the outside of the cab so you did not have to raise the cab and take the duals off. Logic takes over sometimes. That last tractor I kind of followed you. Nice shop to work in. You had that one going soon and left it to the farmer to rinse off in his shop. Super nice setup there. About it I guess. Creative day for you in this one. Thanks for teaching and showing us today. Happy Father’s Day again ZK. Till next time. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

I had a 7800 that the 3 pt hitch wouldnt work with the lights on. JD threw some parts and labor at it but the yellow hcu light would flash shortly after turning the lights on. I got very good at removing the appropriate fuse and putting it back in in the dark while driving and I could raise up and turn around, and the light would probably be flashing again when I got to the other end.And repeat. Finally after about 2 years of this, a JD tech figured out the alternator voltage varied a lot, but apparently close enough that the hitch worked without the lights on. Replaced alternator, never happened again .

I agree very hard to bet a 8R row-crop tractor! I love the looks of them and they perform very well! There’s lots of 8R tractors around here with all the potato Farms! Wish I could send you some picture of how far they spread the tires, it’s amazing that it works but they have done it for years and it works very well!

You likely won't be able to measure a resistance on those big cables - instead, measure voltage drop across the cable when it is under load. Remember V=IR - if, for example, you have 100 amps of load on a cable and you are seeing a one volt drop, that is only 10 milliohms of resistance, which you will not be able to measure with the ohms range of a regular multimeter. In the case of that long cable under the cab floor, you could measure the the voltage between the studs at each end while under electrical load (you will likely need to extend your multimeter leads, but that will still give a valid measurement because the impedance of the meter is very high - just don't touch them to the chassis!!) The meter should read fractions of a volt - ideally (much) less than 0.2V or 200mV. Similarly, you can measure the voltage across a stud junction while under load if you can get your probes onto the source and load lugs. This lets you confirm a problem before you disturb the joint. In this case, you would expect a much lower drop - maybe 10s of millivolts, rather than 100s. Similarly, if you suspect a ground fault, measuring voltage across different ground points while under load may help you narrow down the problem. If you have a 12V electrical system, a few hundred millivolts of drop here and there quickly adds up to big problems. 24V will be a little more forgiving.

fun fact, those terminators have a manufacture date molded to the plastic. it looks like a clock. the numbers in the middle indicate the year, and the arrow points to the month. that goes for any plastic part that has that "clock" on it

Wow, the one with where it wouldn’t move that sounded honestly like just corroded terminals, and when you pulled it off and put it back on and stuck your probes in honestly, honestly sometimes that could clear it up to where it goes back to making good connections

We owned a B John Deere when I was a kid. Open the petcocks and spin the fly wheel to start it. After that we had either Ford (before New Holland) or Allis Chalmers farming cotton, hay, corn, rice, and soybeans. The corn was for the hogs, chickens, and cows winter feeding.

Years ago I went to an engine school, one of the guys worked at a coal mine and was working on a machine at the mine and the engineer happen to show up. Tech had to crawl down in the machine to get a line off. He handed the wrench to the engineer. When the next model came out, it had an access cover to get at the lines without having to crawl in the machine. I've always said that then engineers should have to work on what they design. No reason not to have an access cover on the floor.....

Regarding the CAN bus and terminators - at radio frequencies (which high speed CAN data is, but only barely), a pair of wires of a certain gauge, twisted together, are a transmission line with a characteristic impedance of about 120 ohms. Discontinuities in this medium produce reflections (in a similar way that light bends or reflects when entering water) - the wire gauge has to be correct, the twist rate has to be constant, and the wires needs to kept together. At each end, the 120 ohms needs to be maintained and the signal absorbed - hence the 120 ohm terminator resistor (the 120 ohm resistors at each end, in parallel, appear as 60 ohms when measured with the direct current produced by your multimeter). If there is no termination resistor the signal reflects back down the cable, corrupting the signal (a short circuit can also produce reflections rather than completely killing the bus).

Brand new valves will measure 15.8ohm too lol. Oil in the plug is my big thing with them, but the enable pressure usually gets sticky and feeds reverse while in forward causing delays or slams. I seen you changed ECU terminator and then changed another (looked like EPC but I normally drag them out from the fuse panel side). Normally when one starts to go, they will all follow afterwards so we just change them all. On the premiums that's kinda pricey for people lol. 6X/7X-010/20/30 are our main work load besides your 30/40/50 series as we're hay and cattle in our territory. Passive on the ECU normally lose throttle control and it falls back to idle from my experience.
