Great video. Question: How does the two-way talk function from the cameras work? Did you need to install a mic/speaker devices to hear & talk back to whoever you spoke on the cameras?. I ask because in the item description it says The RCA male-to-female converters are required as it's not included.
I haven't tested that functionality. Sorry

If it starts and shuts off like that at the end, that means I need to change the motor for sure?
yes
Thanks I bought one it's on its way. I also checked the brushes and they were still fine.
Thank you
You're welcome
This makes sense in the context of the battery specs. The LiFePO4 batteries have higher specific capacity, but much lower peak current.
Yes, indeed.
Do you have a video on how to install the hard drive ? I’m not sure if it’s easy or not lol. I’m installing 3 into mine.
Very easy. Hardest part is to align the drives while you screw it to the underside of the unit. You can do it!
Hello Andrew thanks a lot for sharing I just broke my pc same brand. Question why change the battery ?
Also there’s a way to see the exact reference for the screen without taking apart ? I know I will have to do it in order to fix it but just to look for the screen before opening/ also there is a generic one ? Thanks again
Screen was replaced. Battery was replaced as they fail after a few years and the BIOS has problems loading its settings.
Unfortunately, you have to open the machine to see the part number of the screen.
You know you're gonna have to replace the tires at some point lol. Should have got the wheels off when you had it apart
Wheels were siezed onto the shaft. Sold the machine not too long after for a zero turn.
thanks man - super helpful to just know you can do this with a little effort.
Glad to help!
Note to anyone doing this for the first time, take plenty of mobile phone pics, so the reassembly is easier. I had one bracket left over after putting it back together, and it took me an hour to find where it went. It was held on by the left hand side main transmission bolts, and was a bracket to hold the mower deck anti-sway bar. Note that YHT husqvarna lawn tractors have the transmission facing this way on the video but on CHT models it faces in the reverse and all connections are on opposite sides, and that front support bracket is at the rear, but has bolts to release it one on each side through the chassis, so the wheels have to be removed to get at them. I took the sump pan off so I could see how the wear was going on the gears, and to clean the internal sump oil filter, which is a fine mesh screen. there should be three other magnets in there to clean as well. After 250 hours total run time, the wear was minimal, but there was some metallic powder in the oil and black sludge on the magnets. While I had the sump pan off, I found the two places where there is provision for sump drain plugs to be drilled and tapped. I highly recommend this, because it means that in the future I can do the oil change each 100 to 150 hours, (with the recommended Mobil syn 5w 50 oil) without removing the transmission. Just take off the belt, fan and pulley, then the sump fill plug. I tapped the drain hole to take a 10mm bolt, cut the bolts about 12mm long and used two fibre washers. I uses about 2.2 Litres. These trannies are made in Japan by Yanmar, they recommend the 5w 50 oil and that the drain plugs be installed by the lawn tractor manufacturer, but they don't bother. They also often use 5w 30 oil when they fill it which is cheaper, and don't bother to tell you that it should be changed after 50 hours. Nice.
Excellent contribution for others to read, thank you.
I have a problem. the vacuum cleaner turns on once and works, but after a few days it doesn't work. the green light is on. What could it be?
Happens occasionally to me. unplug the power and wait a moment, then plug power back in. I think the control board needs to be reset.
My new plate produces ozone for a second or two then stops. When I switch it back on it does it again. have tried several plates but same thing. i also replaced the heat paste on the back. Any ideas what could be causing this issue? I have the same model as you.
Sounds like it's not the plate, possible a short circuit or other defective component. have you reached out the seller?
@@Andrewsnotes1 It's a good 5 years old and I'm pretty sure I got it on Amazon. Looking for a simple home fix, but i suspect at this point it may be the main black box inside.
Nice, did you replace the oil drain plug washer?
I did not, though it should be changed every time you remove that plug. I really haven't had any issue reusing it.
Big help. Thanks dude
No problem 👍
Exactly what I needed to know. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I have two machines. I assume the other will "run out" soon. I saw a two pack on Amazon. It says "compatible" but not the same brand. Do you have a link for the one that you ordered?
The link is in the description. Stock up! These were unavailable for some time during Covid. a.co/d/gcYuQzy
It doesn’t look like you used spacers. Does it have full suspension travel? They seem to imply you need them if you don’t use their sliders.
it has full suspension travel. The firmness is adjustable with a knob at the front
Thanks!
what brand, and is it the same Ah rating of what was in there?
Nermak a.co/d/4IUnEw1, same capacity as sealed lead acid.
HP 24-dp0124 and 24-dp0000 series and df1xxx are the same, please let me know
probably not
You have to read the fine print (binding specification) of the product. The discharge/charge current is limited by the power mosfets in the BMS. These are costly and hence they are the bare minimum acceptable, usually 1A per Ah of capacity (absolute maximum ratings of the chip, you'd better derate it by at least 30% to have a chance it will last a little bit). So your 7Ah battery can deliver 7A maximum, about 70W. Totally insufficient for an UPS. A corresponding lead acid battery (7Ah) could deliver 200W for 10 minutes. Additionally the LiFePO4 chemistry is rated for thousands of cycles, but the electronic of the BMS? They say nothing. I do not think it will last as much, especially if taxed at the max absolute rating of the mosfets ....... And what about accidental short circuits? Would you instantly fry the BMS and hence destroy the whole thing in 1 millisecond? With a lead acid battery you only get a spark, but nothing in the battery is permanently damaged. I am not surprised the UPS manufacturers are sticking with the old and trusted lead acid technology ......
Excellent points, thank you. The BMS must be the reason for the failure of the first part of the test when under a large load. Fortunately, my loads will not be this large or for this duration.
This is misinformation. 😮
Can you elaborate?
@@Andrewsnotes1 MY understanding is that adjustment by the back wheel is for leveling. Height is adjusted by the one between the front wheels. 😉
This is a good idea- thanks for posting
Glad it was helpful!
how much radiator fluid does this require for the drain and fill?
Buy one jug of the predulited coolant.
depends on the cooling as well
True
Thanks very much, for coming back, and running these real-world tests. The LifePo4 managed only 50% of the expected time, in a high-load situation. Which may have been due to a shutdown in the protective circuits, in the presence of excess heat. / Yet there was still energy left in the batteries. So a cool-down period, followed by a circuit-reset may have restored operation... for another 15min period. Not very helpful. / But in a low-load situation, where heat was NOT a problem, the lifespan was EXTENDED. By 40% over what was expected from a lead-acid battery. / Much appreciated! It's really nice to see tests like these in situations where the answers are not simple, or cut and dry. There is some complexity here. Since these units were designed to work with SLA batteries, heat wasn't a concern. So they are _completely enclosed_ with NO ventilation. Like an Easy-Bake Oven. Which you have demonstrated is a disadvantage for LifePo4. / I suspect that if these had SOME passive airflow, it would help. And with even a tiny fan to assist, could perhaps completely eliminate the activation of the BMS shutdown.
Thanks for your comment, the testing surprised me as well. Considering my UPS has small loads on it, I expect the batteries to last some time on standby as well as in use during power outages. It seems Lifepo4 drop ins as replacements for sealed lead acid batteries are not yet ready for prime time especially for large load equipment requiring reliable uptime.
I bought the same model .. the year 2004 model with 200k in 2018. Since then, I put 100k miles on it. Tbh, I enjoyed driving that car everyday 😊 !! I just donated this as I need a more reliable car for my college son.
They are good cars but parts are getting harder to get. I'm keeping mine for a few years then will sell for something newer. Unfortunately newer= more electronics and complexity.
Andrew ,your video was extremely helpful. But my lgt2654 Husqvarna is still struggling uphill.All pulleys and drive belt were recently replaced.Could it be the transmission has to be replaced.
Sounds like a replacement of transmission or machine is in the future.
I suggest that you check that the oil level is correct first. without moving the transmission, take off the belt, fan and pulley, then knock off the fill plug and check that the level is and inch below the top, sitting on the casting that you see there. if the oil is very low, they behave badly. Next, make sure that you have properly bled the oil into the pump using the recommended method. There is a lever that has to be pulled to do this on the front ( or back depending which way the tranny is orientated). with the tractor jacked up, rev the engine and put it in forward, then reverse several times. then return the lever to run position and repeat this. Next, are all your back idler pulleys and guide pulleys running freely? I am just removing all mine and re greasing them. I didn't think this was possible until I saw a YT video, each one has a rubber seal that CAN be removed with a seal pick or jewellers screwdriver, so that they can be cleaned with solvent and compressed air, Just remove one side on each. If it still has no power, then consider the pump/motor replacement kit, which should be about $600. Each pump has 5 pistons, working on a swage plate. One person on YT said they contacted Tuff Torq in Tennessee and just bought the parts that actually wear out, and it turns out it is usually the pump body, not the pistons. so thats a way of saving money. Removal is easy, getting it all back correctly takes some finesse with extremely small parts that just fall out if you are not careful. Watch the overhaul videos several times before you attempt it. Put grease on the small parts so they stay put when you reinstall them.
@rogerlevy57 Thank you Roger, all the above has been done. Ordered my transmission From Mulligans. Thanks for the information be blessed.
Not a good idea! Conditions are too different for charge and use of SLA and LiFeP04.
Agreed up to a point. I think as the market matures more of these drop in lifepo4 replacements will be suitable as SLA replacements.
@@Andrewsnotes1 If UPS manufacturers built their internal chargers to use the LiFeP04 BMS voltages instead of using those of SLA, that would be a great and popular use for them. Lots of people dislike SLA batteries and want to use LiFeP04, but the UPS makers are lagging.
Could you tell me what tool/s you used to remove it please. Thanks. I can't get it out.

Thanks for the info . My question was related to the actual actuator. He just show where the actuator is located and what screws to remove, but he cut the video on how he took the part out ( what he used to remove the 3 screws.)

It surprised me , looks like a low mileage car . Not a car pushing 200,000 miles.
Built to last if taken care of. Was also repainted sometime in its past. Thanks for watching.
Where I live, it gets warm in the summer (but nothing like it does for you!) - but it gets very cold in the winter. Our shop has un-insulated garage doors and I'm thinking of adding insulation. However, I think I'll use the "blue board" insulation. You can buy different thickness - but I think 1.5" fits perfectly.
I agree, the increased thickness over what I used will definitely be better suited for cold climates.
I hope you get to your 1000 subscribers soon. Looks like you took good care of this vehicle.
Thanks 👍I take care of all my vehicles. Save money, increase reliability and its more responsible on the environment.
Thanks for the video! Our vacuum is still working well, but just determining how best to maintain it. (It is an older vacuum, but new to us.) I just ordered a new filter bag for it and now I'm wondering if I should check the brushes? Did you install a new motor? How much was that, and is it working like new again?
Yes, I am on my 3rd motor. It was around $80. Find the model number of the old motor and google it, you may not get the exact replacement; however, there are many aftermarket motors available. They seize up over time, possibly from dust in the bearings. I am not sure if the brushes would have lengthened their lives, but I am willing to try.
Lol I thought this was a fix video
its fixed!
Nice work... Leaving the wheels on is the better way to go, it's much easier.... Thanks
thanks, it definitely helped the process, but I couldn't get the wheels off!
Niceee ....in 2 week arrive my bat pack from battery hookup...plis continue update with you install for people They don't know how to connect the bms .. Thanks
look for Will Prowse on RUclips for how to connect a BMS, he does a great job explaining the basics.
Positive and negative cable lengths and guages to the batteries need to be the same so that voltage drop is the same on both sides.
They are.
thanks
Husky only cut max 4inchs he's saying high setting is 6inch ...not right
yup, you are correct, should be 4 inches.
Your video was very informative. I have tried mostly everything however nothing seems to work my last resort was Great stuff Big gap filler. I did the bottom of the seat first. Made sure it fully seated and cargo strapped it down. Sll the gaps were filled. I then did the sides and top.used cargo straps and clamps. All of the gaps were filled. It will swell up pretty much. The seat is solid. Little of the great stuff came out. I then placed gorrila duct tape around the edges. Got a seat cover from Amazon. Now I am a happy camper. I am rebuilding my z4824 huskie. So the seat was a great part that I do not have to be concerned with. I thank you sir for your encouraging video. I appreciate your time and effort. Have a wonderful, blessed day and be safe.
Thanks for watching and your comment on what you did.
Hi there! where did you find out the lower bumper valance air? cuz im not able to find it out nowhere. 0:41
This was on the car already. Either check junkyards or eBay. You can also join the Matrix group on Facebook and ask if anyone has access to one to sell to you.
Great video but more details would have been helpful.
I tried to keep the video short and to the point. There are other videos on YT with a complete teardown of these transmissions. Thanks for watching.
What do you think of these Gotions from Battery Hookup? I am scared to buy them because there is no warranty. Do you think they compare to the EG4. I want to build a good size power station on wheels using the new ones they have there. Do you like B H up.... Thanks...
Seem new. If you are a DIYer like me, who wants to save money then it may be worth your time. You also need to get a BMS and wire it up. Otherwise stick to the EG4, they just work, look nice and are plug and play. Also remember batteries are heavy, good size= a lot of weight. You need heavy duty casters to roll these around.
