In this video I have a look at my father in-laws '13 Steiner 440 Tractor that was a crank, no start with no fuel delivery. However prior to this happening it was a no start, no crank. That was just a bad ground but now it cranks but won't start!
-Enjoy!

Hey, FWIW, I do not know what dealer he took it to, to have it looked at. I know it says Jim's Equipment on the books. Don't be talking bad about Jim's because I honestly have no idea where it went. Either way it works now and that's what matters 👍🏼

And I'll be like, "Yeah, come hang out for bit I can show you what I found" and she is like, "You've been checked on, I'm gonna get back to this or that..." *sigh*

His mother, who did not really know me and who was very nervous about me "getting under the car" about leaped to the moon when she came out and saw the car running. She praised me again and again. Cooked me dinner. Praised me some more. Gave me leftovers. And then called me the next day to thank me again. My in-laws? Huh! Would have meant nothing to them.

@wildbill23c 10 ай бұрын

They probably never really looked at it, or some kid in the shop couldn't figure it out so they said they have no idea, rather than having someone actually trouble shoot the problem...very common where I live, shops have a lot of unskilled employees because they don't want to actually pay the wages of a real mechanic that can fix anything, so they hire people with no skills whatsoever and pay them minimum wage...if they so happen to accidently fix a machine that comes in they get a pat on the back, if they can't fix it they get a pat on the back and get told better luck next time. By the looks of that Steiner, I don't think I'd want to own one, and given the cost of them, I sure wouldn't pay that kind of money to get a fake tractor with a rats nest of wiring, and that is how they come from the factory, wiring mess and hoses everywhere. They also don't have a true PTO, its all a belt drive system like a lawn tractor with an electric PTO clutch pulley setup. Pretty janky system for the $25-30k+ these things cost.

"Cosby sauce" 😆😆😂 That "shop" probably was a Stealership which sells new equipment and has a clueless kid as a "technician" . I see this so much now . They are quick to sell you stuff but not service parts forgettaboutit. Sometimes when main ground fails starter current finds another path through an accessory ground or component(s) . We had this issue on marine engines boat which can cause a fire. That's why all grounds go to one point and no extra all gage wires added which will glow red and start fire if main ground is loose dirty etc. This is BIAA code for Marine engines boats which have no metal body frame to use as a ground .
