Just wanted to say thanks for the video! Got to work this morning and digger was flat we a pancake... wasn't sure what to do. Took a minute and thought surely someone on RUclips has had this situation, and surely enough here you are. Thanks again for getting me out of the shit. Awesome video
If your truck only has one battery you can charge one battery on the 24volt system for about 10 minutes then put the cables on the other battery and crank it up no need to do all the rewiring unless it has 2 bad batteries just keep truck running and don’t cross batteries or your in trouble
Thank you. Soooo with this excavator, the main cpu is bypassed and the throttle is ran by a cable, starter solenoid is activated by a push button, fuel solenoid is activated with a key switch. I had forgotten to turn on the fuel solenoid so it wasn't getting fuel. Gotta love old diesels that can still be _made_ to run even when the computer says no.
Basically, you need two good 12Vdc batteries and 2 sets of jumper cables. No truck necessary. Literally. Was hoping thus would save me a walk across the yard to fire up the old Cat scraper and jump it, but disconnecting all of the wiring is-im just lazy, there I said it.
I just found your channel and am in the process of going from a position in a pharmaceutical company that I hate to opening a small engine repair shop and possible welding and equipment repair(mobile). I am in PA and could use some pointers if you have the time or would care to chat sometime. I am in the northeast near phoenixville and I got the feeling you might have been in PA also. I want to start a place where I would pickup people's equipment and then drop it off when it was done because I would be using my father's farm. I was thinking f doing local pickups and drop offs for free. I bought a Ford Ranger but it needs some welding that I will do soon. I was in a horrific accident eight months ago where I was hit on my harley and had my right leg crushed and got extensive blood clots. I was not able to walk for seven months and just two months ago got to work but I hate the position and it is not paying the bills.Let me Know how I can get in touch. Thanks.
Yes, but your truck is wired to still be a 12v where the machine is 24v. You have to wire the truck batteries different and isolate them or you'll burn up your truck wiring.

Awesome video
You're welcome. I'm glad it helped man. I've been in that situation and didn't find a video so I figured somebody out there would find it useful.

That was just a lifesaver for today. Thanks for the video.
Awesome! I just did the exact same with my tractor Massey Ferguson 250
Thanks for watching!
This is brilliant.... But does the excavator use glow bar ... It took pretty long to start....or was it a fuel issue

Will this drain the truck batteries too much since you can’t leave it running while jumping
U earned a sub
Why is there two voices?
Would this work say using a jumper as a battery with only having one battery ?
Thank bud, saved me

U better hope it cranks or ypur walkin lol
Who the hell has two 12v batteries in their truck?
Every full size diesel pickup on the highway
Me, everyone else with a 3/4 ton or bigger diesel truck.
Funniest comment ever to anyone running a 3/4 tonne truck or Japanese SUV.
😂 oh boy!
There's two voices simultaneously speaking 🤦🏿
Can you post a time stamp so I can double check? I didn't find that.

Yeay.... I thought that was you Quizno..
You know I love you don't you..
@@raymondeldred977 What exactly do you mean by that?
So your showing us how to jump a 24v with a truck with 2x12v batteries.... Which equals 24v? WTF! You owe me 3 minutes of my life back.
Yes, but your truck is wired to still be a 12v where the machine is 24v. You have to wire the truck batteries different and isolate them or you'll burn up your truck wiring.
What a gin about no thanks just get a fkn 24 vlt jumper pack set up in series
