Just wondering if anyone has tried using a 8 or 10 ft disk as a attachment? Mainly as a push attachment.

Thanks tazza. Last update. It’s (fixed). Well, it works now anyway. I dug out the ohm meter tonight and everything ran from .1 to .3, could ask for anything better than that. And still no start. So, I ended up fixing it redneck style (after all, I am one). I unhooked the two prong connectors at...

Would love to hear from Mike10 and get his take.

Added info for above last post. This problem can/well happen at any time. Can work fine for two weeks or two seconds. Can happen while running the machine or just sitting there. Like I said, have toggle switches replacing seat and seat belt switches. And can happen just reaching in and flipping...

Well. Here is where everything is standing as of this moment. When the skid steer starts: with that humming sound from the control box: there is 12.4v going TO the control box, 12.4v leaving the control box,12.4v into the diode and 10.9v going back to the control box from the diode. When the...

deaop06. Thanks your your post. Yes, mine also has the resister between the two prong connector and safety seat switches. When I bypassed the seat switches, I left the resister inline. The seat belt switch is straight forward. 12v in and 12v out. I do however plan on a new seat, switches and...

I’m not sure why they used a diode resister. I think the seat switches are nothing more than to send signal to the control box to tell it there is someone on the seat . Not sure why they didn’t use straight 12v like they did with the seat belt. Instead. The volts must drop 1.4 to 1.6 volts for...

Tazza. I agree. If the diode is bad, it’s bad and should not work intermittently. So now thinking that is not the problem. However. I was able to do a volt test in the dark this morning and here is what I have, as far as the diode is concerned. At this time I believe that humming sound is the...

Sorry. Meant to say. It’s my understanding that from the diode to the control modular should be 3 V

Ok. Here is what I know. Isn’t much lol. With no humming noise ( I believe it’s the control module. It will not start. I tested the wires going through the toggle switch that replaced the seat switches. I have 12v. Than tested the wire that goes from the diode Resistor to the control module and...

Because I don’t feel I should use colorful wording on here. I’ll go with “WELL DARN”. Skid steer has been working great. But today as I was running it. The set belt light came on and the hydraulics stopped working and again, won’t start back up. Again, no humming sound. Again, seat belt light...

Ran the skid most of the weekend. Guessing around 10 hours, in and out of it many times. The toggles seem to be working without a flaw. Still haven’t tracked down the humming, as rain will be moving in mid week and have to get a few more things done before it hits. When I bring it back into the...

Yes Foton, Tazza. I believe we may even have one of those. That’s if I can find it. On the plus side of this whole mess. When I do figure this out, should know the old skid better and may even be able to assist someone else one day. Even as frustrating as this is. In the end I know it will be...

Tazza, thanks for your post. It is greatly appreciated. Got in the skid tonight to do a couple things that needed done. Worked great. Well, worked great this time. I too would think that humming sound would be a bad thing. But like I said. It only starts with that noise. Without the hum, she is...

Was working fine. And again, Activate the seat and belt light stays on when belt is activated with no humming sound. If I keep activating the seat a few times, I get whatever it is to hum and seat belt light goes out when belt is activated. So, any clues to what is making that humming noise...
