Message: <blockquote data-quote="mllud" data-source="post: 19659" data-attributes="member: 1012">Its not a bad job if your axles are like mine.On the wiring. Everything Earthwerks Unlimited says is true. Safety is First. And liability for changing safety systems is a serious concern.My Dash panel on my LX865 is fried. You can keep all the safety functions in place and the bucket and lift solenoids will be locked out. unless your in the seat buckeled up. I would not run mine climbing in and out and take the chance of stepping on a peddle and dropping the boom on myself. You have to wire them in series so the Ignition wont start unless your buckled up in the seat.Any break in the curcit and it wont start.I , Like you use my loader on my property only.The loader will run in service. Just make sure all the features are doing the same thing they did before.Before computer boards controled these machines it was done with hard wireing and still can. Buy a 15 dollar hour meter  to keep track of hoursThe thing you lose is the function of the dash. You will have to install gauges and the machine will not shut down on loss of oil pressure or charge pressure. That can be fixed with an aftermarket systems like used on diesel trucks.They want about $750 for a dash panel. These are designed so you cant do basic troubleshooting and the dealer has control. I even have a secret toggle switch on mine that my son doesnt know about.You can keep every safety function working as it does now with simple hard wiring. And for your safety make sure you do.I would love to have a new machine with all the fluff. I work with I have and dont skimp on safety Mike</blockquote>
