Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

the early system 2000 boiler was PLC, then in around 1999 or 2001 they switch to downloadable system upgrade boards.....neat thing was that our service override boards worked on all models, even series 1, so we could just switch boards and run tests through the system to locate faults and many times I would leave my board in the customers boiler till I have the replacement part so they would have heat and hot water for the weekend.......I'm sure if I go downstairs and check in the file cabinet I will find my service board still there.

Rog, I left the industry in 2000, but a friend that still does the work told me that they now have internet/ bluetooth setups on the controllers and for a fee the customer can have their system monitored from the company....crazy **** these days



this was the plug and play board we would use when servicing the boiler

I also like the Camry. I have a 1999 Camry with 214K and still runs good. I recently purchased a 2005 with 80K so i will see how it does.

You guys have a good day.

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

Alrighty,then,
I put out a call to any electricians familiar with LED tubes and the ballasts that love them.

I have single bulb fixtures w/T12 ECO bulbs in them currently.
However, the T8 LED tubes are not compatible.

I see loads of ballasts for T8 bulbs, most of which are for 2,3,or4 bulbs.

The bulbs came with a partial list of ballasts that have been proven to work, but, those cannot possibly be all ??
The tech support is of no help..............

I'm SURE one of y'all will have his thumb on the pulse of this one.....

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

the lamps I bought were already LED to begin with, I did not need to convert.
