Went around in circles a bit on this one, because the problem could have been caused by multiple issues. Luckily, I found the exact issue and solved it quickly.

So quick question. I am in the first dozer you passed and it is doing the same thing. When I attempt to go into the blade calibration, I do not have the same options as you. Any help?
Bro you have video of teledyne pds calibration??
🙏🌍🙏🌍
Hello sir how are you I need to help sir i need how to Dissemble and assembly videos Please send me sir please thank you sir
Hope all is well, just wondering if you’re going to make any new videos. Really enjoy watching you fix stuff that I work with every day.
In no expert. But when working on electronic boards. Shouldn’t you have a ground strap on yourself?
Looks really complicated. Also, turn throttle down for less jerky, I would have put it on the quick tach in case of bucket changes.
Hi there being watching your videos for the past week because am about to start doing installs of topcon and other equipments and this is amazing all I can learn from you thanks for your videos and showing how to do installs
Body sensor right next to the ec520 lol
i have never seen a GX-55 with a old 2.5 mag box before lol, Topcon did release a 3.5p5 firmware from 2019 for these older boxes. but at this point these older GPS pcb's already have crazy hours and high oscillator offsets already, and they wont store and hold the Network IP password settings anymore either causing no 3dmc communication. and some MC-R3's are doing the same too.
I learn more from you than the manual. thanks keep up the good work
Hello i have one question if you would know the answer i am running a machine with mc i4 and fir some reason i cant connect to the recivers trough TRU do i need to open for it in mcxconfig or is there anything else that i need to do ? With thanks
I guess we aren’t the only ones with problems on our D6N. Never seen a dozer burn through more wires and cables
I calibrated mine after every lowbed move
Having used both topcon and trimble as an operator, I can say radio connection. Is probably the most common issues that I have encountered for whatever reason.
Do you find that topcon has more issues with connectivity and maintaining grades than trimble
Time is money,some times you need old school,total station is good if it's working correctly,if not, hopefully you have a grade crew that can shift to old school if needed.bench mark,laser or optical,.just saying.
Great
I hope you are planning on posting more videos. I have missed you .
Absolutely I will be adding new videos to include Trimble systems. I wanted to learn all about installations and servicing of Trimble systems, but the trolls at Sitech Horizon would not allow me to record videos. That's fine though, because I'm working for my own company now and will video record everything. Cheers!
Thxs for the info great break down of the updates. I have a gx60 is the procedure the same? We’re do I get all the up dates you used for my system it’s a mcr3 an it’s 3dmc? Also I have a gx60 that when I boot it up I just get white screen no bios boot any idea on that Thxs.
Wow! That’s an amazing video!
Please I need your help with my 140h grader if I put it in a gear first and second are moving slow and the rest are moving normal what is the problem
Valve Offsets sound like they need calibration. Does it still happen with the throttle at high RPM's.
Hey man, I've missed your videos. They helped me understand a lot more.
Moved on to Trimble Systems in Feb 2022, but they have a non-disclosure. so unfortunately, no more vids, sorry.
@@themachinecontroltroublesh4621 Gotcha, any particular reason for switching over? That's unfortunate about the NDA, but you gotta respect that choice. Would you mind if I downloaded some of your vids so I could use them for troubleshooting?
Hey mate, stumbled across your channel and love the content. Just a quick question regarding the modem installs. How do you find the cradle points last? And are they a good alternative to an sl100?
SL100's are simply just an older style modem. If you are using your modem for GPS/GNNS corrections, it's best to have a newer model.
Hello. Please advise how to power on GX60 without mc3 ?
Please i need your help
How can I help you?
@@themachinecontroltroublesh4621 i have cat grader 160h model 1995 maybe....the transmission indicator keep flashing
Good job
Have you heard major issues with the mcx3?
No major issues that I'm aware of. Although, you must keep in mind that 99% of problems will come from the installation process.
Good job)
Thanks 😆
@@themachinecontroltroublesh4621 How can I contact you? You are in linkedin or in other messengers?
Hello! Thanks for videos! Wanted to add some advice. I think, it's better to copy the 3d-mc installation .cab file to the hard disk directory. In that case, you won't be copying this file to the stick again and again. And it protects you from problems with equipment if stick reveals some malfunctions while software installing.
Thanks for your advice. Actually, the 3DMC software you see me installing on my videos is always an upgrade new version over an outdated 3DMC version. To save any upgraded version to hard disk would be unnecessary because it won't be loaded again. Instead, newer versions of 3DMC software will continually be uploaded, and so on as new versions appear. But, I understand what you mean about flashdrive corruption in the event of constant use. Fortunately, I have not encountered such problematic flashdrives. Cheers.
Also, you didn’t actually show the issue displayed in 3DMC with the D61pxi that showed radio issues. And it’s weird because it looked like you were trying to load GNSS firmware not radio firmware. I have never had a radio issue that was caused by radio firmware or GNSS FW. So in the end what did you load on your laptop? Interested to hear how you got that baby going?
This D61 had an older UHF-1 radio board in the MCR3 which needed updating in order to connect properly with UHF-2 Base. The update opened up the channel/Frequency required for connection. I had previously copied the radio information from the JD700, and simply changed the Komatsu D61 and achieved connection. Hope this helped. Sometimes I zip through things and forget to video, but I'll try and make a better effort at showing all in future. Thanks for watching.
Hey. Just interested if the OAF was the issue? It wasn’t super clear in the video. Didn’t see you load up the OAF Topcon sent?
It was the OAF. We had sent it to owner via email for upload. It appears the OAF was corrupt and decided on its own to change itself from a Max system to MC2... Weird. I just went out to ensure the file was actually reading correctly.
TRU will not load until you run the white list update and do a (run as)
Interesting, thanks.
Excellent installation. I swear that I verified with the customer that this was the location where he wanted the display mounted. I always keep screenshot of those texts, (CYA).
I'm glad you knew to reassign the IP addresses to the GPS cards, I'll remember that. I would have been scratching my head at the lack of satellite reception after the cards were swapped and voltage was restored.
For some reason both cards were assigned main, which we suspect may have been an issue for earlier troubles. Not sure why aux card was still connected. I would have removed it. But glad it was there to use. Saved them big $$$.
Excellent comments on how a technician should always keep future maintenance in mind when installing a system.
Thanks for watching!
Hello was the original blade sensor a MCS cable or a Topcon cable it looks like it was an MCS cable? We have had a high failure rate with the MCS cable and try not to use them if all possible bit that maybe just us.
It was an MCS cable.
Yes, the TOPCON cables are much more durable, especially at the connector. Ensuring the cable is installed in the best (least to receive damage) locations is key.
Carry on
