Installed new Gates air hose Also hooked up battery’s. Was nice not dealing with the slave cable. Terminal sparked slightly when connecting. Don’t know if that’s normal. New starter arrived. It survived the trip and is now in the new MEP spare parts cabinet.

I will grind off the stud "up to" the safety wire. Messed with cover a bit today and no luck Yep That was a great design.........

I was a CW3 This post made me laugh out loud

Soon

OK After my last post, I jumped on the tractor and mowed most of the day. Then had to jump on the garden tractor and mow around the buildings. It was past time to do it and I had been putting it off. I will verify that tomorrow.

So worked on this for the last two hours. Did the 1/4 adjustments as recommended. Finally…….After 2 full and then 1/4 turn, it finally doesn’t do it. Have done about 12-15 starts now without issue and unit was nice and hot. About 83* outside. It kept getting better as the adjustments were...

Lots of parts

As much as this this vibrates, will probably be more for me. Will try Ray70’s recommendations. If I’m lucky, that will work.

Thanks for the pics! I can really tell now how the heat might affect this switch. Wouldn’t take much distortion/expansion to cause issue “if” that’s the reason. Doesn’t look like trying to bend cover would be a very good idea. Going to work on it today.

I thought about that, but don't know what's under the cover in that area and can't find any pictures that show it. Hopefully the adjustment works and I will not have to find out.

Will for sure try adjusting it first before replacement. Don't' want to fight replacing it unless I have to. I will start with the 1/4" turn at a time. At least I can reach that.

Clamped down battery’s and installed the connecting cable. Can’t finish today. Only had 3 terminals in stock. More arriving tomorrow. Hold-downs are a tad too big. But they’ll work I think.

Battery’s showed up today. Finally The Positive cable is way too long. Will cut to proper length and crimp on new lug. Same thing for the Negative side (length is fine, just needs a new lug) Using New Military Battery Terminals anyway

I can get a Dremel in there. Will cut rod “up to” the safety wire. This is as far as I can get it off for the moment.

I’ll learn the symbolically eventually. Obviously I will try adjusting the switch first. The threaded rod preventing me from taking the S7 cover off has a safety wire through it. Don’t want to cut it off……unless absolutely necessary. Is there a danger of screwing something up trying to...

Gladly

What bothers me about the schematic is I don't know what all the symbols mean (yet) and understanding the detail flow. I could show you the schematics of the Hydraulic Systems on a MH-47E Chinook helicopter and it would probably look Alien to you, while I know it by heart and fully understand...

It’s very loud and shakes like a rock crusher. Still don’t like the exhaust in my face when I’m on that side of trailer. Once the issues are ironed out, its main job is to sit and wait for an outage, so I’m not overly concerned about it. If I would be using it more and towing it around to use...

…………now I have to get that ….$/@!!$(&….cover off and replace the switch.

A HUGE THANKS to everyone who helped. Special Thanks to Guyfang who read, studied and understood the Alien Drawings. Thank you for your time.
