Hi Dean,
I assume you’ve verified that Pad 4 isn’t putting out voltage when you enter speed 1. If it is, then there is a broken connection somewhere between Card 1 and the L contactor.
 
If not, make sure pad 6 on the Card 1 is getting 36V when the speed selector is in neutral. This is required to ‘reset’ the SCR. If it is getting voltage at neutral, I would suspect capacitor C2 (20uF @50V), SCR 102, or a broken lead or trace on the board.
 
I had a similar problem with the PTO on my E15 when I first got it, and it turned out to be a bad SCR.

Subject: (ET) E15 will not run
 
Hi,
I recently acquired a 26AE15AA that will not run and would like to get your opinions. I was told that the tractor did run when parked indoors many, many years ago. There has been some work done on this tractor in the past. >From what I can see the;
- Key switch has been replaced
- Forward / reverse relay is a different unit completely.
- Card 1 has soldered connections for the wires now vs the slip pins and all the wires were cut and reconnected via a 15 pin AMP connector.
 
I performed some initial checks from the Home Owners Manual.
- Wiring looks clean
- Card components look fine
- Key works
- PTO works
- FWD/REV relay works
- All the microswitches in the speed control are good.
- Voltage from the speed control start switch is getting to Card 1 pins 5 and 6 as they should depending if start was actuated in forward or reverse. However the L coil does not energize. I applied voltage externally and the coil did energize.
 
From the looks of things, this points to a Card 1 issue but I was wondering if there is something that I may have missed. Could the resistor card be a problem? Or doesn’t that have anything to do with the energizing of the L coil?
 
Thanks for your help.
