I just had a drum strip out this weekend.

Good luck with it. still enjoying my 2555.

Actually you need to really dig into it. If you dont have a manual you should get one. Victory Glass sells them. there is a troubleshooting section that overs this. and the manual goes into detail of what to check. you need to check various plugs and sockets that relate to the #3 ciruit.

it was few thousand cheaper, the work i do with it i get on and off fairly often and the biggest reason is i have a lot of low branches, the windows would have just gotten damaged.

glad you found it helpful.

yes, i have an intake heater that turns on when i turn the key to the left or when i turn the key to right, it stays on for about 20 seconds, i can then recycle for another 20 seconds or crank it over. i just added the block heater since when it is really cold out i want my block to warm up faster. Its been 7 years since the purchase and I am still pleased with it. i think i have around 600 hours on it. i havent used it as much the past couple of years.

@@allthingsdiymike1106 what block heaterdo you have, i have seen ones that make contact with the block and heat the block up but there are many other types

@@nathanreid2974 a freeze plug was removed from the block and the heater gets inserted. i did it when i got the tractor new 7 years ago.

there are a few things to check. after opening the rear door have a look at the cancel button on the side of the cabinet, the spring may have come off to push it back out. next thing to check is the the entire canceling mechanism. during normal play as the tonearm works its way toward the center of the record it will eventually trip the cancel mechanism. unfortunately i dont have access to either of the wurlitzers right now. Here is a very good video of a similar mech. have a look around the 8:00 mark for canceling mechanism. ruclips.net/video/KM5bA6c7mQo/видео.html

@@allthingsdiymike1106 Thanks for the kind reply Mike. I sent out about 10 requests for help and only got yours back...I appreciate that! I'll check out those suggestions and see if that solves the issue.

@@allthingsdiymike1106 Hi Mike...just wanted to thank you again for point me in the right direction for my Wurlitzer 1080, in the video link you pointed me to. Turns out that shut-off mechanism pushes two electrical contact points together during that sequence. The contact points were apparently getting dirty and not making proper contact, so the platter would rise up, touch the record, and immediately drop back down. I cleaned the contacts and that cleared up the problem. :)

@@ronhummel9298 Happy to hear it Ron.

it slopes slightly. so it is 27 inches measured close to where the log would lay for splitting and about 28 inches on the outside edge. this also includes 3/4 plywood i added to make the bed on each side wider and longer. i am a little over 6ft tall and with a log on the bed or in the split ram area it is still comfortable for me considering the logs are usually several inches in diameter, so there really is very little bending over at all.

@@allthingsdiymike1106 excellent, thank you very much. Very helpful.

glad you found it helpful. So far it's holding up fine. I did have a similar problem with the axle seal, minor leak on the right side when looking at it from the rear of the tractor. I just put some of this sealant around it on the outside to hold the seal in place a little better just so it wont walk its way out. I use Shell rotella HD tractor transmission and hydraulic fluid. Tractor supply has it but i found it cheaper from Napa, 103 bucks 5 gallons. and it does say Mahindra on the label too.

I do not believe that would be the issue. have a look at the reversing switch. it may have gotten hit and broken. it is like a little flapper that changes direction when the mechanism moves all the way to the right or left. Also, you can just try lifting the lever that is under the mech cover. it is just the right of the tonearm when you get the mech cover off. sometimes this resets everything. lifting will cause the record to play at the position the mech is in at the time. it should then just play the record normally and place it back in the record stack and go and get the next selection. The other possibility is maybe the scan switch or mech on/off switch got hit. raise the glass/dome and look around for on/off switch and a scan swtich. try moving them in the opposite direction . one of them looks like a toggle switch usually.

Thank you Mike! I'm going to have a look at that. All the best to you! Ken

Yeah, its a bit of a pain to take the videos without a camera stand either. anyway, as I said in the video, i used diesel oil/fuel to lubricate the latch since i did not have wd40. it really needs to be well lubricated.

Yeah, so far they have been working pretty good. i did make a more permanent change to the one end of the anvil stop where the i have the wood block. I was using zip ties to hold the wood block on the one side but i eventually drilled thru the anvil stop and put a bolt all the way thru to secure the wood block. took a wihile to drill but it was worth it. I think i used a 3/8" by several inches long bolt. I was just splitting more wood couple of weeks ago and the whole unit is still working fine.

Yeah, I agree, but I think i will just change the oil a little more often. I I picked up a 5 gallon pale and I still have at least 2/3 left. I am glad I put on the hour meter to track the hours.

It was quite a while ago, I think they were Comet bulbs i picked up at the Allentown PA show. No modifications, but they do flicker a little for example when it changes between players.

Your welcome! lol.

Such a beautiful area. you must have a great time there. This winter was not good at all. I did not get to ride out that way. Always enjoy going to Norridgewock for lunch and then go out riding some more and hitting up BM station for dinner. My two favorite stops. I just looked at the video again, looks like your place is on the left just getting into BR. I actually got lost once for awhile on the reservoir when a storm moved in while i was heading back to Stillwater. I missed a couple of tree markers and found myself totally off the trail. just barely able to find my track to backtrack to BR enough to pick up the trees again.

@@allthingsdiymike1106 yes I love it up there it is beautiful

to activate the glow plug heaters, yes. i think i can also turn it to the right one notch (before the actual start..like accessory) and the plugs also activate, its just that turning the key to the right to accessory also activates other electrical components and not just the glow plugs.

Thank you, I just bought a used Mahindra tractor yesterday and I noticed on the key it shows to the turn to the left for the glow plugs, but the manual said turn to the right and wait, so I was confused. I tried it both ways today and it started fine, but was confused that after it started the glow plug light stayed on for maybe 30 more seconds. Does yours do that?@@allthingsdiymike1106

Yeah, they glow plugs will stay on for about 30 seconds or so after you start the tractor. actually the 2555 uses a air intake heater and not glow plugs if i remember correctly. in any case, yes it will stay on for anotehr 30 seconds after starting. i think it does that to minimize exhaust or EGR valve from getting clogged since the engine is not at full operating temperature yet.

Thanks for all the info, you've been a big help!@@allthingsdiymike1106

My pleasure. I know these vids will never be seen by a lot of people but the few people they do help makes it worth it. :)

I wish I could remember which cap it was. google for BIll Bickers Jukebox friday night and email him. he will probably know which one once u describe the issue and could sell you a cap for it. I wrote it down somewhere but cant find it. you might want to put a note in the box once you find out which cap. As far as the Thorpe it sounds good, but the needles can shift easily and twist off to the side sometimes. I did try putting a tiny piece of clear tape directly over the base of the needle and it worked fine for a long time to prevent this from happening, not that it happened often. then i replaced the needles and never bother to put the tape back on and its been ok. glad you found it helpful.

@@allthingsdiymike1106 Thanks for the info! I appreciate it!!

Yeah Victory Glass is pretty good for parts. there is also JukeboxUSA.com for parts. Mike Florio has many original used parts for many jukes, you can find him on various jukebox facebook groups or on ebay. A really nice guy. good luck. I think it is a beautiful box.

Thanks. I’m excited. Jukebox belonged to my grandfather, then my dad, now me. 😊 My father in law is working on it for me. ❤

@@allthingsdiymike1106your videos have been very informative and helpful and inspiring!!

Thanks Tony, I was never one for click bait to attract quick views and loads of BS. That is some great history on the juke! My experience has been to do a quality restoration with periodic light lubrication, usually a couple drops of very light oil and a bit of super lube grease in other spots that slide and playing it once a month and you will get decades of nearly no issues. I like to right down on paper the number on the play meters after restoration and keep it in the juke then as the years go by i will look and see how many plays i have put on it since the restoration.

@@allthingsdiymike1106 That is amazing...if you have any other advice...please share! 🙂

72 inches

Thanks

Glad you found it helpful. I put the chains on the rear a few weeks ago using the string, it is so much easier using that method and much faster than trying to toss them over the tire. I really enjoy this tractor. good luck with your tractor. I wouldnt go too wide with the spacers it could weaken or compromise the axle bearings etc. thats why i just decided to not go too wide. the spacers i bought gave me chain clearance and made the tractor a little less tippy. somewhere on youtube i saw a video of a guy that took his tractor on a hill and he was able to just about push it over by hand. then he added i think it was 1 1/2" spacers to each side of the rear and he took it back to the exact same spot on the hill and he was no longer able to tip it by hand. so even an 1 1/2 on each side makes a good bit of difference in stability.

I am not familiar with VG free play switch. I would not think it would cause canceling out the record selection buttons. I would think it would just give a permanent credit and still allow you to select whatever selection you want. But I may be wrong, you would have to ask VG how their free play device works.

It doesn't cancel the Selector. It bypasses having to throw money into it to play music

It's been awhile since i have had to look at it. but i think under the driver side there might be an adjustment rod that is threaded and you may be able to tighten up the nut on it taking up the slack in the cable.

yeah, it can be, i try to use a tripod when i can. thanks for the comment.

Yeah, I would have expected it to be more than just a slight press fit.

Iam manually turning the clutch to try and lower the turntable slow process any suggestions

sometimes when i am finally able to get it a bit free i will plug it into a power strip so i can quickly turn it on and off to see if i really have it unjammed. it just speeds the process up a faster instead trying to keep turning the motor by hand. if more than 1 tray got pulled out at the same time then it might be those fingers i mention in the video pushing in too much or not enough. you have to look at how the those fingers latches onto the tray to pull them out on the right side when you are looking at it from the back of the machine.

@allthingsdiymike1106 the toggle switch up on top left does what right does what. I don't have a manual to give good information on this unit. Thanks again.

On my machine the toggle switch turns off the power to the motor but keeps the all the lights on. You can try Victory Glass for manuals. I think they sell them for this model.

If you dont have the manuals for it you can pick them up at Victory Glass. it will help with any adjustments you need to make. such as the needle pressure. it will also help with what kind of lube and where to lube the turntable. yeah, if it needs lube the vibrations go right thru the needle and into the cartridge. there are rubber grommets in the turntable that may need to be replaced as well. the manuals will go over how to do this. it is a great box. restored mine about 26 maybe even 30 years ago and it still plays great!

I havent had any problem with it splitting that size diameter in half as long as there are no knots i am trying to split thru. if there is i just split off center a little bit. I am amazed at how well this splitter handles anything i throw at it.

@allthingsdiymike1106 I sorry I meant the length. Harborfreight specs has recommended length of 23.6 but wondering if 24in length would fit.

unfortunately no, if i remember correctly it is a little over 18 inches max since i added the 2x6 wood blocks on the ends of the stops.

boring boring boring waffle waffle waffle like your shorts and shirtsleeves All worn out Zip tie em up !! they lasted longer than your blocks @@allthingsdiymike1106

LOL... I will be sure to put on a 3 piece suite to split firewood next time. LOL. Yes you are correct the blocks didnt last that long with the zip ties but it was more of proof of concept and I have since gotten the right drill bit size to use a bolt. i have since drilled and am using a bolt to hold blocks without issue.

Wow, that is unusual. i have never experienced that.

@@allthingsdiymike1106 I know, right. Took me all day to find it.

Glad it came in handy. I really do enjoy the tractor. It has worked well for me. jus the right size and more powerful than i thought it would be for an HST. I have yet to do the pto seal. it is getting close to the 550 mark for me too. My original battery only lasted a little over 2 years, then it was too weak to crank in the winter. I will check the ground cable, thanks.

Glad it helped. I have really enjoyed using it. the last time i used it was about 4-6 weeks ago and then before that i didnt use it for about 3 months. it started right up, no issues. will be getting back into cutting and splitting soon.

Try penetrating oil on the shaft area. also you may have to see where the adjustment is possibly going from brake pedal to the drum and loosen it up. or disconnect the line completely from the pedal. this would loosen it up hopefully enough to get the drum off.

HI Harold, it has been a long time since I did the restoration on mine. i think you need to go in the back of juke and there may be blocks on the top and/or bottom that are pushed up against the pilaster that you have to take off. then you may have to lift the pilaster straight up and maneuver it out.

lol....as far as clarity it sounds good. quite the range in vocals.

Your welcome. any questions just post a comment and I will be happy to help.

Thank you. I enjoy playing it and it does sound great.

Honestly I am not sure. I think there was an aftermarket gear selector, like a high/low gear selector, I think it was called a Ruckstell axle.

Most likely and auxiliary transmission, probably an under drive. This would bolt up directly behind the Model T transmission. The other shifter would shift the Ruckstel rear end, changing the gear ratio @@allthingsdiymike1106

You sound bitter because you dont know where your 'self leveler' is located or if you even have one. do a little research on what a self leveler is and what it is supposed to do.

I found even just a little dirt screws up the mechanism stopping it from opening the latch completely. also, I think if i can get it unlatched to the point where it opens partially enough the hood is loose but not completely unlatched to lift that i can pull on the hood outward just enough to bypass the latch completely.

Thank you for the tip! i never thought of it burning out the transformer. I think the speaker is around 5000 ohms so what you say makes sense.

good idea, thanks!

Victory Glass just started making new amps for these jukeboxes which allows using your phone to make selections. i dont know anything else about this new amp. My opinion is as long as switches are complete and you do a thorough cleaning, rebuild and adjustments during your restoration they will work for decades without issues, as long as you play them once a month or so which i always enjoy playing them.

hmmmm I would say try the cancel button on the side of the cabinet while the record is playing and see if it returns the record to tray and cancels it out. at least you would then know the electrical part would seem to be working fine (solenoid). then with the door off the back have a look at the tonearm and where it pivots in side the mech when the tonearm gets to the end of the record, it must push on a lever and then a i think a set of points to activate the cancel of the record.. over time the mech gets a bit gummy and needs to be cleaned. a bit. I think if you get a manual from always jukin or victory glass it has troubleshooting section. Also, Richard from Always Jukin may have a lead on it. It is a really good magazine/paper on jukes.

Yeah, it really has worked out well for the price. i haven't split wood in a couple of months. I am curious how easy it will be to start up.

Yes, I have used it a bunch this season and it has worked nicely. it seems pretty accurate as would that is below 25% seems to burn easily and above that it tends to be harder to keep it burning.
