Has anyone ever had fuses melting on their @PrecisionPlant PDM? Many calls with them over the last 4 years, same issue year after year. 280 degrees

I think we may have found issue. Original dealer did not install isolator kit under PDM causing vibration from alternator to resonate into the PDM.

PDM has been changed last year it was brand new bc the heat from the last times messed up gyro. As well as fuse holders melted.

Happy Mother’s Day to all! A special happy Mother’s Day to @DELTAPINE because you have to be a real motherfucker to allow so much: seed fragmentation, red seed, and empty seed coats into a bag of cotton seed! Been at it for 2 hours and just visually sorting through looks like 15% is junk. Hopefully can get a good 10 pounds out of this lot.
