So, a few updates on it. I toasted the trans ECU, sent it off to Transmission Instruments who fixed it beautifully for me and replaced the panel and screen which were in poor condition. Shifts great now. Tried an electric/hydraulic, couldn't get the flow I was hoping for. 2 GPM was the only...

So the t case is locked up when it’s in neutral? If it’s a heat issue, the process of feeding a bale will be very low flow and take probably 1-2 minutes. Would that short amount of time let me Bypass potential overheating problems? Also went in and probed the ecm power wires and I found odd...

Really trying to avoid any extra hydraulic addition saying as I have the pto already. Only one fairly small motor on the feeder needs to run while driving and theoretically it could be an electric motor, it is mounted directly over the batteries anyway. Either that or electric/hydraulic or an...

I don't need to drive fast, just creep at a 2-3 MPH, but I absolutely have to be able to move with the PTO running. I've been running the PTO at idle for most of my testing and it doesn't seem to affect it. If it was truly a pinch I think I could make do with electric/hydraulic but I would...

Well, I really did it this time. I noticed that the trans will lock out if the PTO switch is turned on and for my application I need to be able to drive while operating the PTO. Figured it might be a sensor or something that was just wired into the PTO switch so I disconnected the pins and...

To help the trans shift better? I would have to drive it a little more to determine if there is something wrong or out of adjustment on it. I just kinda figured this is how an auto would be in a heavy truck...pretty sluggish and often not in the gear you want it in, but at least you have an...

That looks fairly straightforward. Hard to know where the adjustment is at now though. I haven't driven anything similar, so I can't say for sure. It certainly isn't overpowered, but they are awfully heavy empty with a reasonably small motor so I didn't expect it to come flying off the line. I...

Do you have any tips on how to do that? And how do I know what the stock setting is?

I'll figure out the signature line here in a bit, but yes, its a 1997 Model 3116 Cat. For the electrical, jury is still out on the batteries and cables, but I bought a bunch of 24V 5pins on amazon did a mass relay replacement and that has pretty much cleared up my intermittent electrical...

It seems like I hear as many people saying they aren't electrical issues as people that say the opposite. Perhaps I should temper my plans to create a lot of extra work for myself and just pull fuses in systems I don't plan to use and install a power shut-off switch for insurance, which I have...

I’ll check the fuel lines and see if I can find a leak. Tricky to locate those without a clear hose or filter somewhere. Maybe there’s a bleeder nut on a filter housing? As for the wiring I don’t want to make my own harness but I do want to remove components preemptively when I have the time...

I just got my first MV on Govplanet and am trying to make an ultimate cow feeding machine out of it. I'm going to mount a feeder on the bed and load bales with the crane etc, that part should be pretty easy and fun. The truck on the other hand is certainly like no CV I've ever worked on. I...
