Installed The Relay

rusty6 · Dec 22, 2020

Its snowing like crazy here this morning but still not too cold at 20 degrees so I went to work on finishing the installation of the starting relay on the 2140. It works but might not look up to the standards of some. Its out of sight behind the dash and easily accessible if I need to modify it when the weather is a little warmer for working with bare hands on cold wrenches.
Picture from above with the battery cover open.

I don't know Rusty. That looks like a professional job to me. Good work, particularly under difficult conditions.

Looks good a little liquid tape or even some black silicone to
seal those crimp on connections would be great

If you put your wrenches in an inside pocket for a couple minutes while you sit and read the paper they will be warm. :lol:

I gave it a test this afternoon and it works great. Turn start switch and starter engages, engine starts. Got plenty of fresh air out in the blizzard driving through snow almost up to front axle at times. That tractor is not normally real good in snow but you couldn't stop it today even on the hills. Loose dry snow on top of dry ground really helps. Hope the video turns out.

No doubt tire chains would help but I was quite amazed how well it got around in this deep snow today. I'll post a link to the first part of the video in a separate heading.
