    Deere 310G Cable popped off lots of smoke / won't turnover

    Haha thanks for making me feel better about this mistake guys. It doesn't top when we spent an afternoon trying to take a nut off. 6 ft bar, hammers, WD 40, tried using a torch. The thing wouldn't budge. Long while and a few beers later my friend said "Maybe it's reverse threaded?"

    Deere 310G Cable popped off lots of smoke / won't turnover

    Thanks again everyone. I was sitting in bed thinking "why the hell did this happen" and going through everything I had done. I checked the starter and there was a disconnected cable. Now the reason I hadn't checked that cable is because it shouldn't start without it connected. So.. I've got a...

    Deere 310G Cable popped off lots of smoke / won't turnover

    Thanks will do. I'm going to do the obvious in the mean time. Fuses / fluid levels etc

    Deere 310G Cable popped off lots of smoke / won't turnover

    I spoke too soon. Sort of. So its starting and running great but I hadn't tried forward or reverse yet. All the hydraulics are good but it just won't move forward or back. Was fine prior to the smoke. Neutral safety is fine it won't start F/R but works N. Now I'm lost. Hopefully didn't fry...

    Deere 310G Cable popped off lots of smoke / won't turnover

    Thanks for everything guys you were a big help. It was burned out near where the trigger wire (right term?) connected to the relay (one in cab). I cleaned it all up / replaced and it is running like a champ. Thanks again.

    Deere 310G Cable popped off lots of smoke / won't turnover

    Ok big apology. I'm not sure how I missed this before. When I check between the relay wire going to the starter and negative I show 8v then crank it show 4v. Would it make sense that wire or connection is burned out somewhere between? I changed the relay above but didn't see anything. Hard to...

    Genie GS-2646 showing low voltage on charged battery

    So I charged the two 12v (2x6v) individually for a good while. Slapped it all back together and it seems fine. I think it was reading fine but in reality one cell was about to go. After they're balanced. Lets see how it holds up to a few days work. If I don't report back it was a win! Thanks...

    Deere 310G Cable popped off lots of smoke / won't turnover

    Ok, at a bit of a loss now. Waited for a starter relay to arrive. I replaced the starter relay in the dash. It didn't sound too clunky and I broke a wire off looking at it. It clunks a lot harder like it should now. I've got 12v at the starter. Nothing is burned. Now I'm trying to figure out...

    Genie GS-2646 showing low voltage on charged battery

    Its 4 x 6v so we trying to save 300 bucks but I agree with your statement. I'll clean it all up and try to balance it a bit. I suppose the 25v its showing might not have much depth and as soon as it tries to draw something it drops. I'll clean, measure and maybe buy 3 more batteries. I...

    Genie GS-2646 showing low voltage on charged battery

    I just bought a Genie GS-2646. The previous owner said it was good to go and no issues. Looked fine put it through it's paces. Trucked it to my location and it had just enough power to roll down the ramp 10 feet. Now its saying low voltage. One battery was bad so I swapped that out. I'm...

    Deere 310G Cable popped off lots of smoke / won't turnover

    Thanks for all the responses. Was hoping to find a burn wire to replace or something glaring at me. Pulled the battery to charge it but didn't need it. Voltage getting to the starter Nothing burnt I'm going to test some more of the easy stuff like the relays. Trying to figure out which relays...

    Deere 310G Cable popped off lots of smoke / won't turnover

    So I was on some rough terrain yesterday and my battery cable popped loose. I looked down and smoke was coming out of the battery box. I think it was just where it rested on the post and made a bad connection that arced. Anyways now I try to start and everything seems fine but just a click up...
