Sawmills and Milling / Re: OldJarheads Milling Thread...
Last post by Ben Cut-wright - Today at 10:25:25 AMYou made a comment in your video I didn't see here in the forum.
OJH said, "this light wasn't coming on when the engine was running. For some reason it wasn't."
That's a very important clue. The charge warning light should come on KOEO and then go out when the alternator begins charging. The warning light alone does not pinpoint what is wrong, it does pinpoint where testing should begin. The alternator will normally fail to begin charging if that light does not work.
Also, you made several comments on battery voltage. 12 or 12 (?+) is NOT good. The battery should read 12.5 volts (plus or minus 0.1-0.2) at rest ,steady state, not charging and 1-2 volts above steady state during charging.
There is 0.66 volts difference between a 100% charged battery and a 0% charged battery.
Were the wires you tested for continuity disconnected when the OHMS test was preformed?

Last post by Magicman - Today at 10:04:50 AMOK, I remember the Hosta plants but I missed where they were planted. Deer regularly mow PatD's Hosta plants here at home.
It's surprising that they have not hopped over there.

Last post by OlJarhead - Today at 09:17:51 AMIt's been a while since I shared a video here but I thought I'd share this one so you can see the mill running great
I'm really thinking it was something so simple as oxidation on the wires. Hydraulics and electric motors all running great again and I milled up 5 logs in the time I had between burning slash and other projects so it was a great day! Now to fall some more timber and get back to milling!! #5

Last post by Jeff - Today at 09:07:44 AMLast fall, Furby gave me a ton of hasta plants that were to be discarded. Within that 100ft perimeter fence, I planted 196 hasta plants. Deer are supposed to love em. I'm trying to get them established before we find out.

I keep intending to ask what is behind the orange barrier mesh, just nosy?

Last post by Jeff - Today at 08:35:12 AMTwo shots taken from what is now the solar powered camera on the pond. I built a solar array yesterday including an inverter and nighttime battery backup. When I get a few extra bucks I'm ready to add a planned aerator that will keep the pond from freezing. It is also powering a wifi extender so, totally wireless.
