Truck finally runs again. No smoke was lost. Although I had to keep going back to the diagram as I did hook up some batteries wrong then corrected the mistake the battery terminal crimper has paid for itself and I hope to not have to use it again. All batteries on 24v side are running 14.12 and...

Polarity Protection Device, and the starter Maybe. as always these things snow ball

Glad to know that DirtPerfect on Youtubes first dozer experience from C&C was still the case that is happening. Only Youtubers must get a completely job ready machine. I know everything they sell is used but apparently the camera must not capture the whole picture going on. Glad this is...
