OK, I finally did it. Yesterday I installed salvaged connector terminals in the unused positions on connectors C-25 and C-26. The answer is: C-26D. I hooked up a thermistor salvaged from an...

More details: I took the cluster apart to examine the circuit board. Turns out my guess was wrong, term D-26 is not connected to anything. You can see the dead end connector strip in the closeup of...

While I have the dashboard off, it is a good time to see about hacking an ambient temp display. When the 825i is turned on, for a few seconds the top center of the dash screen displays "-188* C/F"....

I had previously tried several methods of removing the steering wheel on my 825i with no success. The guy who assembled it apparently used an air wrench to install the wheel. Manual says tap lightly...

Update 8 May 2015: Went out to the barn on a rainy afternoon for another try because I now have a shop manual on CD. It says to remove the nut and strike the wheel with a hammer to remove it. No...

So here is the final solution to the dome lite install. I removed the crummy sticky tape they came with (it left the adhesive stuck to the metal when it fell off) and replaced...

My gator had extra switch holes in the dash, so I added some illumination. Rear area work lights and cab interior lighting, all done with the LED stuff detailed elsewhere in this forum. Dome lights...

MOGATOR, you need to test the oil pressure first thing. The sensor is on the upper front of the engine block near the timing end (if you see the oil filter, look up and to the left). Unscrew it and...

I can endorse the 825i as a good machine for farm and ranch work. Plenty of guts with adequate speed to keep up with 35mph road traffic when you need to. It has a 3cyl engine which is naturally...

doesn't really matter what the voltage is at idle. You should see between 13.9 and 14.5 at 3000 rpm with all lights on (charging system test). Key on - engine off voltage of fully charged battery...

I tried to remove my steering wheel so I could take the dash panel off, but the trick of backing off the nut and pulling real hard didn't work. They really torqued mine down good. Don't beat on it....

Got to defend my gator on the "foot room" issue. With size 14 EEEE I noticed the gator had more room than Polaris, Honda or Kubota, not to mention all the cheap ones too. More storage compartments...

BiilT, it's the all steel male part of the buckle, not much risk of damage. The last belt I had with the proper sized slot was in a '64 Impala. For some reason the art of making seatbelts has been...

Ho ho ho, Santa brought me a CD. They are still available for $10 but it took a very determined internet search. I'll just say all the clues are on this forum.

I'm sure others have noticed, but it should be mentioned in the "gator tech" forum that the seat belt buckles on the 825i (and presumably other models) will open green (or other color) beverage...

I noticed that, too. I mentioned elsewhere in this forum that on power-up it displays "-188* F/C" for just a moment. The cluster obviously has temp display capability that J-D has chosen to ignore...

yeah, when I power up I see the temp display for a few seconds, "-188* F/C". So it looks like the cluster has temp display capability. I peeked at the back of the cluster with a mirror and saw at...

thanks, scoobieguy,
I didn't see the factory hole but that beats drilling through the powdercoat. Looks like the standard route is through the open end of the rear rollbar tube.

How does one customarily run electric wires from the dash up to the top of the roll cage? I'm preparing to add a dome light and some rear work lights on top and don't want a bunch of exposed wires...

yes. I have always been taught that a sudden high load like a jump start (or a winch pull) can damage the diodes in an alternator if it is charging while the load is applied. One of those "rules"...

The Gator at work. Finally the cold weather is here and I am in the woods getting to use my new toys, as it were. Already rewired the winch for practical reasons. Had the control power for the...

thanks for the offer of help, duling. Is that 75MB just the wiring diagrams? What I want is something that shows the wire colors and connectors for the chassis harness. There are all sorts of unused...

duling, what search terms did you use? I'm finding nothing but full price at the dealers and no bootleg stuff. If anyone knows a good link to buy schematics, PM me please.

Got the Gator loaded with chainsaw, polesaw, pole pruner, lopping shears, etc. Heading down into the woods as soon as the dogs settle down. Got to clear trails tall enough to drive the tractor with a...

Boys, I know this is an old thread, but I'll check in. The featured intake separator is std. on my 2014 825i. It is secured by a notch at one end and a rubber grommet at the other that pops onto a...
