    I think that "something" has to do with us still coming out of an ice age. And weren't we told that by year 2000 we'd be heading for another ice age? Yeah, weather changes, always has, and always will (see, I did say yeah). Cant really compare the butterfly etc. numbers from my childhood to...

    Thankfully global warming hasn't quite reached my little corner of the world yet. But a lack of precipitation has. I can only hope that the monsoon season does its thing since winter did not.

    Hey, I recently spent two days in Phoenix. Dry yes, hotter than Hades, yes. Miserable. And just back from four days in SoCal, which was both hot and humid. Even more miserable. You know it's on the warm side when needing a koozy to hold my alcoholic beverage of choice - not because it's cold...

    Could it wait until it's less than 150 degrees outside?

    There's no way I'd sell the SEEs, or the HMMH. Those are just way too useful to get rid of.

    I know the feeling. I've started looking for a good home for the HME. It'd be hard to replace that one if/when I come to my senses.

    Oops. For some reason I thought you'd already checked the bulb. I have one hanging loose from the wires under the dash on one vehicle, just for that purpose - to make the alternator kick on.

    Maybe try replacing the regulator first? That's fully doable without lifting the cab. Not fun, but even I managed to get it done.

    I had one give up on an HMMH. Paid something like that, too. And they're easy to change. Forgot all about it until reading your post above.

    Go back about 100 to 200 pages and the NAPA numbers are listed for all three belts.

    Belt? Worst case, put the loader in float and drive in Reverse to get home.

    Help for a new m936 owner please...

    Okay, now I understand why it won't start. Load tested the batteries and the two "end ones" (positive and negative for 24 V) failed miserably. Not sure I've ever had a battery make the needle go to zero that quickly. Oh well. Now the question is; what happened to those two? Connected a 24 V...

    Help for a new m936 owner please...

    Got the batteries to a full charge today, but was running out of daylight by the time I was able to get to this issue. Bypassed doing the load test and tried starting it. Everything looked good on the dash, and after turning on the ignition. Hitting "start" made it sound like low batteries and...

    Help for a new m936 owner please...

    Okay, this has me wondering. The batteries in this 936 have always impressed me, staying at around 28 volts for months. Figuring that they deserved some attention after some two years I added water in most cells, as needed, then had them on a solar charger for several days, combined with...
