🔧 SWAPNOSTICS – Sometimes swapping parts actually IS diagnostics!

🔧 SWAPNOSTICS – Sometimes swapping parts actually IS diagnostics! This time we’re heading out into the bush for a breakdown on a Tigercat skidder that has lost drive. Rather than immediately throwing parts at it, we use a bit of “Swapnostics” — swapping the wiring on trans sensors to help isolate the problem and diagnose the pressure fault. Sometimes the simplest diagnostic method is the quickest way to prove exactly where the fault is. We also get stuck back into the grapple, reassembling it after some engineering work has been carried out on the grapple brake bosses. And as a bonus… an early start in the New Zealand means you get treated to a proper dawn chorus. 🐦🇳🇿 There are definitely worse places to earn a living! 🔧 In this video: Tigercat skidder breakdown in the bush Diagnosing a loss-of-drive / pressure fault Using Swapnostics as a diagnostic technique Hydraulic and electrical fault finding Grapple reassembly after engineering repairs Heavy diesel field service Forestry machinery repairs And some bonus NZ birdsong 🐦 DIESEL GEESUS – Making it happen.
