    M923a1 slave start issues

    From my thinking there would not be an explosion when everything was still hooked up on the correct polarity just had the positive lead on a positive terminal on the battery without the starter hooked up. And the negative was on the battery with the main chassis negative on it. Like i said it...

    M923a1 slave start issues

    Well Simp good job. I just switched over the slave cables on the batts and it fired right up. Why it would matter is beyond me. It was still 24 volts in my head at least.

    M923a1 slave start issues

    We run 1/4 inch wood under them and 1/2 inch on top with 2 decent sized ratchet straps running accross them. After some of yalls ideas i may now notch wood around the terminals. Its a shame the 8d's wont fit in the tool box. That would be perfect.
