Sawmills and Milling / Re: Did something dumb today.

I am not laughing at you Jeff, it's only 4 wires. Practice makes perfect.
You really want to be disappointed try doing that with a 24 pin military circular connector where you have the get all the wires the exact same length, strip and crimp individual pins on each wire, then make you you have the correct wire number in each hole, assemble shells getting all the tangs lined up and then go to test fit it and realize you have male to male. Then you turn around and look at the next 6 cables you already have prepped with male pins ready to assemble.. I have heard that can really take the wind out of a guys sails pretty quick.4 wires ain't bad at all. Many of us have been there a time or two, or more.

Last post by SawyerTed - Today at 05:08:10 PMAmputated vs Excised
I clicked on amputated while excised probably would make me think taxes and pith me off.
Hope the graft takes and there's no required ongoing anti rejection therapy required.

The Outdoor Board / Re: BIRDS
Last post by woodroe - Today at 05:01:23 PMSaw a black and white warbler the other day.
Unusual but not unheard of.
They act like tree creepers so that's what caught my attention
circling up and down a tree trunk looking for bugs.
Striking streaky colors .

Last post by Chiselbut - Today at 04:50:31 PMQuote from: terrifictimbersllc on Today at 11:34:52 AMhere's where it would be...Thank you.

it looks like the electrical information is posted by revision range, not by year, do you have your revision number? I think this would be listed on your Vin sticker, or if not there then in your online account with Woodmizer>shop parts>equipment listing for your sawmill>on the right there would be a revision number. If you have that account info set up.
Updated does look like the manuals are also listed by year...

Sawmills and Milling / Re: Wood Mizer website
Last post by Chiselbut - Today at 04:50:07 PMQuote from: Ben Cut-wright on Today at 12:40:00 PMMost of the wiring diagrams at the WoodMizer website are found in the "engines" section. These are not complete in that some components are not shown. But there should be enough diagram to interpolate what you need to know.Hi and thank you. It appears, there are two 14 gauge wires from the back of the variable rate box, and the previous owners considered one a ground wire, connected to the negative batt terminal, the other is spliced into another wire, and i have yet to trace where that goes. The grounded wire (attached to the negative batt terminal) melted down and it appears got so hot that it compromised the other wire as well.
Hydraulic electrical power comes from the strip and grounds should be back to the battery. If other wires are heating up there is current going where it should not be going. Which "two wires" are "melting"? Power and ground at the PCB terminals?
Also be aware there was a change/retro in control switches so yours may or may not match the diagrams if it has been replaced.
I replaced those 14 gauge wires with 10 gauge wires today, installed new battery post clamps, cleaned up the mess etc.
Will see what happens tomorrow; lots of corrosion, loose and rusted connections.

General Board / Re: Making it through another ...
Last post by doc henderson - Today at 04:41:04 PMno offense taken. Had I not had that pic already, I would not have bothered. It is all good, and just showing it can be done with curved, and especially if they are similar in length and height.
