You truck mechanics probably know all about this already but my son and I are still in the learning stages when it comes to newer truck electronics.
Son just bought a 05 9200 International truck to pull the feed trailer with. It has an IXM Cummins ( I think, it's the new M11, if that's what it is)and everything is electronic. It already had the switches on the dash for the PTO and the air hose going to where the PTO should be so he thought it'd be an easy job to switch the PTO and wet kit from the old truck to this one. He changed it over just fine, but when the PTO is engaged and he's unloading feed the engine acts like it gives up and bogs down. And if he pushes in on the clutch to make a small position adjustment, the PTO is programmed to kick out. So after a call to a mechanic he found out the PTO 'switch' needs to be turned on in the truck's computer or ECM.
Stopped at his favorite IH dealer, they put their laptop on it, but they couldn't get through to the ECM. Next day he went to a truck shop that specializes in IH and they found out the old GPS connections were still plugged in. The GPS connections were unplugged, he got into the ECM and found out it needs a PASSWORD, GRRR. He's gonna call the dealer he bought it from (150 miles away) to see if he can get some information. If not, it's a 150 mile trip to Sioux Falls, and a day's lost income, to have the computer flashed and re-programmed. Gone are the good old days when we could just crank a screw. After wrenching on many new computerized combines, Im a true believer that more hours are lost on newer machines due to electrical/computer problems than hours lost on mechanical failures. Jim

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
