RE: (ET) elec-trak not running

[Larry Elie <lelie ford com>]

I could be wrong, but it sounds like a stuck contactor.  The "Home 
Owner's Service Manuel" has a trouble shooting guide.  You didn't 
mension if it makes any noise; if you hear a 'whirring' noise, you 
might just have a loose belt.  If you have a tiller (wish I did...), you 
must have a full frame machine; E12 or bigger.  If you have a bad 
spot on the commutator, you might try spinning the motor 30 degrees, 
and then try again.

HELP !!!!

I last used my elec-trac last fall. (Didn,t have enough
snow to use the blower)

I tried to start it today to change over to the mower deck 
and IT WONT MOVE!!

The snow blower runs, the deck runs, the tiller even runs,
BUT the darn drive motor wont run.

I have no idea what is going on. ALL suggestions and comments
will be considered.


 I'm sorry to say that I have no idea what size my tractor is
someone has painted it and all the #'s are gone.

If anyone has a way for me to discover its size please let me 
know.

Even though I have been monitoring the e-mail for over a year
(all messages downloaded) this is my first time on. Keep up
the good work.

Thanks

Marty Canada
