    Deuce Breakdown - Lafayette, LA

    Home at Last - and Thankful!!! I finally managed to limp her home. The culprit seems to be the loss of the rear main seal. Ran great with no problems for 500 miles of a 750 mile journey and then it started slipping. While driving heard a muffled pop sound followed shortly by the clutch...

    The expense is not in the electronics itself. The expense is the engineering and marketing that goes into the product. If you think that the total of the constituent components in your product amounts to more than $10 - $15 bucks, you are deluding yourself. I was following this post to see...

    If this is all about sharing knowledge, helping fellow hobbiests (including newbies) out with info to further our fun at minimal cost, I am very willing to document how you can put together a control system here a really minimal cost. Heck, I don't even own one a 1031, but being the relative...

    GL Deuces on hold again 2' to TSC?

    I was issued a "paid in full" last week for my Duece but when I contacted the site rep I was told that it was on hold because they needed to have a crew come out and check to see if the gages contained the radium illumination paint. So, I guess that is the issue. We are just wainting for them to...

    M1031 Governor Control

    Is there anyway someone could disengage the PTO with the control box still trying to correct by bringing the engine rpm up? You might reconsider and have your failsafe work based on sensed engine rpm. That's where the most damage could occur, I'm guessing. You could add your sensor to the...

    M1031 Governor Control

    You might want to add a reference to the engine tach as well. PTO shaft failure could result in a situation where pto rpm is within spec but engine rpm is driven up beyond a safe operating range. Else, the implementing a rev limiter might be a good idea. Perhaps a scenario might be where the pto...

    M1031 Governor Control

    Did you try to sensing off of the engine tach signal? Or, did you just decide to add a sensor to the pto shaft. Also, is there any fault sensing with your setup?

    Initially, concern was raised that this should have been placed in the classifieds. The subsequent posts, for the most part, were of techinical nature. I myself have no need for one of these, but am interested in what it is he found a solution for. I take interest in learning of the systems of...

    Brianrull, I don't know what thread you have been reading but, I haven't read anything from any "Nay Sayers". All I have read about is a discussion in this forum about what this thing is and alternatives to the problem at issue. After all, this is a discussion group. If it wasn't open to...

    Irrespective of how well it works, his implementation does look cleaner compared to what was there.

    Generate a reference signal, sample the line output frequency, adust the throttle accordingly (within defined safe operating range) and repeat. Seems simple enough. Is this a common equipment failure on this vehicle type?

    I am not familiar with this vehicle, but curious as to the function of the control box. Can someone explain what exactly these do? Regards, C southe
