[QUOTE="cows sh#t me to tears, post: 2105436, member: 44958"] I know it may not seem the prettiest way of doing it. And its certainly not how I had planned it originally..... My initial plan was to leave box in place, fix new heads at front of box . This concerned me with reducing the turning circle, and being able to access the bar for locking the wings on the 6m drill. Also the plumbing of the primary lines wasn't giving me any joy[emoji34] So , I put the project on the back burner....Also I had a major failure of the electronics in just under the first 12 months. So I wanted to make sure everything was working seamlessly before I contemplated a massive change...Heads up for anybody else running an isobus unit that has a major controller failure. The big box is around 4000 pound to replace. And the smaller unit is around 1500. The service tech traced it back to the motor controller box ( the 1500 pound one). They had 3 of them in Melbourne (a 7hr return trip). So on a Sunday of a long weekend they got in touch with the spare parts manager who came in and opened up for me and gave me the gold plated box. 9pm that night the tech had it fitted up, yet still it wouldn't work[emoji34] long story short. After many months of a bodge fix and emails to JD USA and Kvernaland. They finally worked out that Kvernaland had stopped installing the software on the box's they supplied JD and you needed to buy a special tool to install said software[emoji34] the upside is now I have some of the most knowledgeable service techs in Australia at my local dealership...Also didn't help this was the only isobus 750a in Australia......
