Butt connectors aren't bad, if you use the right one, bare non insulated, solder it, and then heat shrink it with the outdoor rated (glue filled) heat shrink

Hate those plastic taps where you squeeze it onto the wire to add a wire
Got a truck from a guy who was in love with those and self tapping screws
Have you tried putting some fuel in it? You should put fuel in it.
Yes, people who use them should be beaten, shot, set on fire and then pissed onSame...

I like the butt connectors with solder in them and also heat shrink.
Push the wires in. Heat up to melt the solder and heat shrink.

I’m also a huge fan of these. I use the crap out of these for low voltage splicing.
The equipment I work on is from the Netherlands. Every single wire end is terminated with a ferrul. I use the crap out of these too.
meh, i stopped using those after having several fail. it looks like that low temp solder is brittle as they always were broken inside. the heat shrink was intact but the wires were disconnected inside. i got so i just use copper connectors with solder and heat shrink over it. flux the wire ends too, cant pull it apart.
This is stupid. An hour t remove the shroud to remove the battery. Or roll the battery upside down and remove from under the chipper. I'm gonna fix it so the battery can stay upside right and slide out from under the chipper.
Not quite done. still gotta clean up them red wires but it did clean up nice.
Is that a battery box,?and wtf is going on with that turbo hookup?
Yer sposed to notice the nice pro wiring job.
Yeah, that battery box sets in a welded steel cradle that requires the battery be lifted up 6" before it can move anywhere.
Nothing wrong with the turbo hook up. Just an elbow that is supported on the backside by a bracket to the engine block. It's just a slip fit between the elbow and the turbocharger. If something should snag the muffler/exhaust stack, the turbocharger is isolated from damage.
I know, the wiring is absolutely stunning, but I worry about odd looking shit. I'm like that.
So, you are concerned about SS?
So are you are terrified of mirrors?
And the hog semen
Same hear
Yes

I had only one of the two battery cable ends, 3/8" eyelet. The cable measures .465" diameter of copper. Anyhow, Mcmaster Carr didn't have the correct terminal. Instead I bought some 5/8" thick wall copper tubing and made one.
I hooked up the cables and had nothing, no lights, no crank, nadda. After pokin around, I found the safety interlock switch is an open circuit. For safety purposes, it has a switch that prevents running the engine with the disc cover open. I by-passed the switch and tried again. It fired right up and purrred like a kitten.
The plan is to pull it outside, steam clean the engine, start and run for a few hours and then change the engine oil.

A warm 39 degrees today. Snow tomorrow. Good day to steam clean the engine. It's covered with saw dust and oil.
