no, its off, but i also did not push to test to verify it works

This is #2, hasnt been wet, tomorrow will be the day to check ribbon cables.

Started on #2 805B today, replaced the mandatory John Deere washers on all the fuel lines, primed it up, and it started like a champ. Now the issue is having negative oil pressure, negative amp draw, 2 amps draw on all 3 legs with the engine not running, and it shows the battle short switch is...

HAHAHAHA its alive, and all worked as designed,finally. I really like how well that John Deere motor pulls, even from no load to full load, it was just a split second of load then it was back to an easy pull. It didnt sound like it was working at all at 32KW, and only a hint of smoke going from...

I would rather change a 5th wheel than take the azz whoppin to change a kingpin

Finally got it working, and the sun is down and its cold so I didnt get to do a proper load, but at least I can say it worked. Part of the problem was a wire pulled out of a connector and there will be lots of contacts that need emery clothed.

A 5T fifth wheel is the same size as a com'l trailer, only problem you will run into is getting the trailer on the truck, then you run into overall height issues. A good thread to read. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?163057-M932-M1088-Fifth-Wheel-Height-vs-commercial-truck

After reading the schematics for the load tester, going to give it a run on 240/416 and see if i can get a load on 3 legs. Well 240/416 didnt work at all. I think this load is just old and grumpy. Got l2and l3 to load for a minute then l3 quit. So i guess i will get the load in the shop and...

Its good for really oil caked on stuff. Just have to keep an eye of the water temp, it will get hot fast

Well load testing didnt go so well, could only get my load tester's magnetic switch to work on L2, I could only get part of them to work. After manually closing and opening the magnetic switch (with no power on) I did get it to pull 10KW on L2.

Well, project #3 showed up today, as I was just about done with project #1. 15kw with a broken block (25 hrs) out of Riley

I want to be confident in the jenny, so I will run 80% for a couple hours. 5-10 gallons of fuel is pretty cheap as a confidence builder.

IMO if you are going to charge me storage fees after 8 business days, then you should be open for pickup during those 8 business day. I am not saying you have to have a body on site 5 days a week, but be AVAILABLE to load 5 days, or heck, 4 days a week.

well crap, delay of game until tomorrow afternoon, the fuel gauge decided to read zero, so i will have one here tomorrow. How long is a good load test at 100%? 50%? The tm doesnt say anything about time.

I did not, they were a pita to get in the terminals anyways. I may try that before i hook up the second 805b for a load test. I only have 1 100amp cable with bare wires on one end.

We got 1/2" of rain sunday so i should be good, and the salt might kill my weeds and we dont want that

which is better to load test on 240/416 or 120/208? I cant think of any instance that i would ever use 240/416

Now to just get it hooked up

I have a manual, it was in the tm storage on the door. Will try to figure out how to scan it to a pdf. I have a 8' ground for my 50kw that i will ground everything to, might even pour some water on it for good measure

Got them all ready to get load tested, scooted the jenny back on the trailer. This is the load tester I will use, just hope its big enough. And going to use the 100amp plugs and connectors rather than try to guess the right sized aluminum. I will get a better photo of the 100 amp...
