Kobota: I also installed a motion sensor above the garage doors and then wired it to control the coach lights at the front of the house and the 2 post lights along the driveway. With this circuit I can still use the 3 way switches to control the lights from in the house or have the motion sensor turn everything on when someone drives or walks in. Additionally when you get around to building that garage you might consider installing this type of circuit to operate the lights in garage also. The motion sensors is positioned to se you when you open the door and enter the garage and turns on the lights. You can get in the car and close the door and drive away, the lights shut themselves off. If the sensor is positioned correctly, the lights come on when you pull back in later.

I used a U-haul like in the photo to bring 70 TA Firebird from Arizona back to WI. U-haul was all concerned about liability and wanted to see the tow vehicle 86 4x4 Suburban and load before they stamped the deal to leave Arizona. They had a list of "approved" tow vehicles and they were only full sized trucks. If you don't meet all of their criteria, they don't cover the trailer or you. Trip went well except brakes on trailer when out in Oklahoma. I'd sure be cautious about doing anything to one of their trailers or trucks, "you are responsable for modifications" you could get nailed for a new floor or worse. Some of the dealers take digital photos of the equipment before it leaves now.

lbrown59: When using electric tankless heaters, look at BTU vs gas and the unit rate of rise. If the water enters too cold it may leave cold. We had to series 2 units to get the water hot enough. Well water tends to run a little bit colder.

Not good, did something close to that, cost $450. I had snapped a couple of teeth off one of the front axle gears. Jack up the front end, out of 4 wheel drive and try spin each wheel by hand. If you broke anything in the front end you'll feel it right away. Good Luck.

Trouble shooting using a volt meter.
1. Set the meter to DC volts and measure directly on the battery posts; should be about 12.5 volts.
*Have someone turn the key on, voltage should drop slightly, about 1volt when the glow plugs come on.
+If it drops 3 or 4 volts, the battery is low.
2. Turn key to start, if battery voltage doesn't drop off more then it is in the interlock circuit.
+If it drops off like about to 5 or 6 volts it’s the battery
+If it drops off just another volt or so, then the bendix has energized, but probably not pulled in. If the bendix can't pull in the inrush current stays real high and will trip the circuit breaker or blow a fuse. I've heard this problem mentioned with some tractors, usually only happens with a hot starter.
3+If nothing changes in 2, move the probes to starter frame and battery terminal at the starter and try this again.
+If it voltage drops off more than before, you may have a bad connection, cable or clamp or ground path.

When the tractor is running check the voltage at the battery, right after starting. The alternator should be putting out about 14 volts to recharge the battery. After running for a few minutes, the battery should be recharged and the voltage will taper back off to about 12.5V.

If you can get your hands on a "Machinists Handbook" you'll find the tables in there for all types of beams. You just need to know the basic dimensions and web thickness, it will get you real close. Try the public library, because I don't think you'll find it on line. It is about $65 to purchase and had dat on everything. stuff like "eye" bolts strengths in straight and angular pulls. Chain and hooh data, good resource
