I am old but not yet grown up......

I figger I'll go till getting bored, (not there yet) and then think about something else. Don't hunt, fish, drink, smoke, chase skirt, etc. but still like working on things so save to say it's "difficult" to slow down.
That's All Folks!

Little dry run progress to check for fitment. So far, so good. No electrical yet but most likely tomorrow.






This is what the fuel gauge looks like lit up:



I'll get the relay bank mounted up tomorrow and hopefully some incorporation done.

New Holland dealer I help out wants two of these panels. One they have presold for a machine they sold new and has a blank cluster. I know the end user very well. I could sell direct but don't backstab anybody and they discovered I was doing this through the implement dealer therefore will be vendored through them. Another owner is to supply desired functions and I'll build to that if possible/reasonable. Both are willing to let me have their machines to test/evaluate proper operations of the engineering involved.

Little more progress today shifting a DC load through the timer circuits and illuminating an LED annunciator lamp. Timer pulls in a relay which pulls in a contactor supplying the high current load and drops out according to time setting. Works 4.0 in test configuration so final implementation begins.

Nearing the final stretch with this thing finally. Lot's of rodent damage everywhere has really taken time to sort and repair. Muddling through it however. Now have operational work lamps, glow plugs, interlocks, and engine shutdowns. Gone however is the 30 second delay from fault sense to engine shutdown as that was chip controlled. In layman's terms that means if low oil pressure, engine overtemp, or elevated hydraulic termperature is sensed, there is no delay in engine shutdown and it will be immediate.  

Will be incorporating my new control panel today but have one circuit yet to figure out. No point to point wiring diagram available and will find this wiring run via multimeter. I can make it work with the original card in place, but now need to go around that circuit as have all the others. This allows for an unmolested original wiring harness, (albeit several repairs). Engine starts and runs from my homebrew concoction and glow plugs cycle as they should. Same safety systems are active and engine immediately dies if any are compromised.

One Eye Wonder:



After finding yet another wire compromised and repaired:





Owner tells me the lights have not worked in the machine for many years. Rodent damage corroded the termination that supplies power to the circuit. I "scabbed" this in there temporarily going around original fuse till I can get the correct pins that go into the fuse block. It actually tucked away nicely and is readily accessible though I didn't photo the completion:

Going back together and this is where I stopped for the day. Tummy growling when I snapped this so time to head home:



Originally had planned to split the harness but later decided there was no need as I'm going to attempt to repair the original EIC board:

Can't actually tell you if this machine has an alarm or not? I've not seen one but really haven't been looking either. I did back the machine up about three feet and it did not blast so either not connected electrically, or non existent.

Figured out my way around the original EIC and everything works as far as enabling. Also found two wires in the ROPS that were devoid of insulation and together but they are not used in this machine. 10 seconds of glow plug cycling and this engine wants to jump off the mounts starting so easily. Finally have everything sorted and haven't had to cut a single wire of the original harness. Tomorrow I will incorporate my panel into the mix and give it a functional checkout with my grapple bucket, and some downed limbs in the yard.

Discovered how to jumper to enable the hydraulic valve body to allow booms to stroke. This is the first time they have been down in nearly eight years:





Little too tight to work in engine compartment with them down so back up they went.



First shot of my new panel livening up just a bit. Nothing installed, nor calibrated but I think they will be fine as not too bright to use at night.

First Yellow lamp will be glow plug cycling.

Second Yellow lamp will be for hydraulic filter restriction.

Red lamp is for low engine oil pressure. 

Hopefully when the keyswitch is turned to the "On" position, all three will illuminate and the top Yellow lamp will extinguish at the interval adjusted for to allow glow plugs to warm. The engine can then be started.

I have decided to run the second Yellow, and Red lamps through five second timer circuit(s). This means if the engine sensors "see" either a clogged hydraulic filter, or low engine oil pressure, this will start a countdown in the respective circuit. If oil filter differential pressure, or engine oil pressure does not return to normal levels in five seconds, the timers will command engine shutdown immediately by interrupting the fuel solenoid voltage.
