    I don't do very many live auctions. Most are online. I sent you a link a few weeks ago about some stuff Hewlett Packard had. Don't know if you ever saw it. I used to buy a lot from them.

    Bushings are gone. Dunno if they got crushed and fell out when it got T boned. It's a pretty light hit so who knows.

    How long have I been here and never knew that? LOL. In the past I looked at the bottom of the home page to see who was on. Thanks for the tip.

    If you get one working it would be best to find a golf cart charger to charge the batteries without having to disconnect them each time.
    It will also charge them properly making the batteries last longer, both charge time and the number of charges they will take.

    Well I pulled the 3 trucks off the trailer and looked them over. 1 has 3 batteries. 2nd has 3 batteries and a charger wired in. 3rd has no batteries.

    Tried turning the 2 trucks on to see if they had any juice. Nothing. Not surprised.

    Grab my extension cord and remembered I needed a new plug. Cheap HF replacement didn't last me 2 weeks.

    Get the new plug and put it on.

    Plug into the truck with built in charger and nothing happened. No hum, needle didn't move. Did some searching and I guess it needs a minimum of voltage to "tell" it to kick on and charge. Can anyone confirm that? Is it possible to "trick" it into charging? If not I'll continue with the 12 volt charger like I am doing with the other one.

    So I went to the other truck and disconnected the cables and put a charger on one. Seems to be holding a charge from what I can tell on a multi meter. Have it charging the 2nd battery now.

    Time will tell what kind of projects I got myself into.
