Okay a quick update here; I went up there today only to be faced by Christmas weather, a blizzard, so no work got done in the morning, so I helped Tony Wilson partially re-assemble a Perkins 6354 to enable it to be lifted out of the crawler that it is in because it has seen better days and Andrew has a better engine to put into the machine concerned. After lunch one of Tony's contacts who is a professional sparky arrived to help me out with the Poclain, to cut a long story short the charging issue was a simple fix, a loose lamp connection

and the tracking issue looks like a dodgy solenoid which I had located on the machine but had no way to test it, so next week I will be having a crack at that with a bit of luck.
The machine tracks just fine especially now that I have done the rotary coupling seals, she was really struggling to move before, now she will just not counter-rotate, an issue that was also there before I took on the coupling seals, apparently these machines will not do that when they are stuck in fast track mode which is what is happening. The two-speed tracking is controlled by a solenoid, there are two side by side, we could hear the one clicking in and out fine under test but the other is not working. Sadly no photos this week except for the snow scene that greeted me today.
