We hope to start corn silage tomorrow, so this afternoon, I took the harvester over to Cousin Bob’s so we’d have it all ready to go. Last thing we check after hitching it up to the Tractor is that the electric controls work for aiming the spout into the wagon. This time, the spout wouldn’t turn!
An hour and a half later, and the 3 of us were stumped! We had power at the electric motor, but it wouldn’t run. Switching that motor with the other one on the feedroll reverser that worked resulted in exactly zero difference. So after supper, I ran wire from the one that worked up to the one that wouldn’t, and presto- it ran!
Tomorrow I’ll have to remember that the switch to reverse the feedrolls actually turns the spout! and if I want to reverse the feedrolls, I’ll have to go disconnect and reconnect some wires back there! (with a little luck, I won’t need to!?!)
