Video

My goal was to make it compatible with my quick hitch which is 25 1/2” between the arms and 17” from the arms up to the top connection. Leaving a few inches from the steel to the edges and calculating the depth to accommodate the sq ft of concrete of I wanted for overall weight, I ended up with 30” wide x 25” tall x 14 1/2” deep.

It makes sense that you might need to clean it but I’m not sure on what frequency. It is only filtered water that passes through this part so it should stay cleaner longer. Getting that out to clean it will be a much more invasive project. Perhaps you could ask Aquasana for a recommendation or it might be published somewhere.

Glad it worked out. Yes, I also found the timing aspect to be more crucial than I thought it would be.

Nope. Been on the tractor for most of the past year.

Sorry but I never even thought about deleting so I have not researched that at all. A Ford dealer should be able to give you some direction.

I think this procedure deletes a key that isn't present. I recall seeing that in someone's how to video, I'll have to find and revisit that video because I need to delete one now that I got myself a second one. Other videos I've seen from people didn't cover it. I was able to program my second key using a universal obd2 programmer that was $70, it gets locked to the car it is used on but I figure that cost was close to what a locksmith would have been. The app on my phone for the obd2 programmer reported that the car had a total of 3 keys after I added one. So the Used car dealer never got the second key from whoever they got the car from before selling it to me. My vehicle is a 2017 edge titanium.

The arms of the 3 point hitch simply would not lift, just like if you put too much weight on the front end loader it simply wont lift it.

But I should add that before I built the ballast box I had a big snowfall to plow and I mocked up a temporary solution with a wooden palette and the dry bags of Sakrete that I hooked to the three point hitch without any problems, so I knew I could lift it. Otherwise I would have had one for sale 😁

Not sure where the disconnect occurred but so glad you found this video useful. My video essentially follows my manual exactly and also the written instructions I have linked in the description. One thing that comes to mind is that my owners manual IS NOT SPECIFIC to my vehicle and includes instructions for, I believe, two other keys/controllers. Perhaps you were trying the instructions for a controller that does not match yours.

@@duncanmacdonald3164 I am guessing that the F150 manual may not be stated in the exact same words.

Weird. Not sure why that would be the case but thanks for sharing.

Sorry but I don’t know. You may have to rely on a dealer or check with an automotive locksmith. This is the situation I wanted to avoid by programming a third controller. Good luck.

I got a second key for my car using a $70 obd2 universal programmer ( once used the obd2 programmer got locked to only being usable with my car). This is a year out so you might have resolved your situation already. $70 is probably about how much a locksmith would charge.

I hope that means it worked for you 🤞

Thanks Donald. Lately I have been doing a ton of front end loader work with the tractor and have had the ballast box on for about 10 weeks straight without any issues. Maybe you got a bad one.

With this quick hitch and several others on the market that is true and I have since purchased them and sleeved it up to a cat 3. The issue I have with this one is it is sold as a cat 1 but the bottom hooks are cat 3.

Everything on my compact tractor is stock. It is a Yanmar imported from Japan and was new circa 1980. That is the stock stance which is too narrow for my liking. It feels very tippy even on a slight grade which was one of the reasons for building the ballast box to help lower the center of gravity. Sorry but I cannot answer your question about Kubota B models.

@@duncanmacdonald3164 ah, got it. thanks for the reply. i was looking for a sidewalk snow blowing machine.

They make a narrow tractor

You cant make a model narrower, but you can buy the narrow tractor

@@Will-tm5bj you can make the stance of a tractor narrower. they make rims with different offsets and on a lot of rims you can flip them from one side of the tractor to the other for narrow vs wide stance. thats what i ended up doing on my kubota tractor.

I bought mine here: www.carandtruckremotes.com/2019-ford-expedition-smart-remote-engine-start-key.html In December, 2019 I paid $56.94 including shipping and handling. They have increased significantly on this site. You can probably find a better price by looking around. I would start with this search: www.google.com/search?q=2019+ford+expedition+intelligent+access+key+fob&sxsrf=ALeKk00ecK0xkw3VZmwmq_jgM-5BVkjEWQ%3A1621043997915&ei=HSufYJaqN86F9PwPgLw8&oq=2019+ford+expedition+intelligent+access+key+fob&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBwgjELADECcyBwgAEEcQsAMyBwgAEEcQsAMyBwgAEEcQsAMyBwgAEEcQsAMyBwgAEEcQsAMyBwgAEEcQsAMyBwgAEEcQsAMyBwgAEEcQsANQk64HWJOuB2CotwdoAXABeACAAcABiAHmApIBAzAuMpgBAKABAaoBB2d3cy13aXrIAQnAAQE&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwjWrKS9y8rwAhXOAp0JHQAeDwAQ4dUDCA4&uact=5

Glad it worked out.

Glad it worked out for you and thanks for sharing the differences with the Explorer.

Yes, the fear of losing a key is why I went this extra mile to program a third key. Ford has deemed “two keys to program a third” to be magical for at least the last 23 years since I bought my 1998 Expedition. If your sales person promised you a second key them make them back that promise. Plead your case to the general manager. Maybe if you show up with an unprogrammed key you bought on the Internet and just ask them to program it you will be more successful, assuming you bought from a dealership. If not, you are really stuck with getting the company to back their promises. Note to self: make sure all promised obligations are met BEFORE signing the final paperwork and driving off the lot. BTW, the F250 is a nice truck. Congratulations on your purchase.

Unlikely. You are probably in for a negotiation with a dealership for the second key. Hopefully they will program one you already purchased but that is at their discretion. If they do, then you can use it and the one you already have to program a third. Having two keys seems to be something magical with Ford for programming keys.

Great!

Great!

Thanks for confirming

From everything I read, yes. This video is for 2018, 2019 and now presumably 2020. You recently bought such a new model and only got one Intelligent Access Key? I would pursue the seller for the other key.

Duncan MacDonald thank you for your reply. I bought a used 2019 model with only one key. I am reluctant to buy another key from a third party only to have to our dealership fees to program.

Only to have to *pay* dealership fees.

ndjohnson22 Good luck. The original reason for the video was that I was trying to avoid the dealership costs as well and backing myself up with a third key. I wanted to share my “good” personal experience with buying a third party unprogrammed key for not too much money and programming it myself. I suggest contacting the service Ford service dept you have the best relationship with and finding out just their programming charge vs. buying the key from them. Probably cheaper to buy the keys yourself. That way you can buy two keys and have the dealership program one and the program the third one yourself.

Yes! Yes, you do

Glad you enjoyed it Chris. I could barely believe my eyes when that Bald Eagle came and spent 5 minutes right in front of me.

You know it Sherry, since it is your neck of the woods. I expect you have been there several times yourself.
