Re: (ET) Trivia Questions



Support Bill Gunn at Tech service, you bet, for that lift strap. Bob at Doc's Lawn Equipment ( 330-837-4672) has 'em, too.
 
A general thought about tire pressure: put as much pressure inside as you want on the ground. Can you say "Newton's Third Law"? Go as low as you want until they look low, and you can't go wrong.

Subject: (ET) Trivia Questions

Can someone please help with a few details. I got my E15 two weeks ago, but I have very little documentation. I am quite happy to have most of the systems running after years of sitting. I now have reverse! Thanks to the folks who sent card #1 info, this required a lot of attention. Most amazing are the batteries. They are E-2200 made by Exide. It appears that the batteries were quite new when they were discharged completely because of a bad charger. They sat for quite some time fully discharged. I measured from 0 to .5 volts per battery. All cells have been charged and equalized. They seem to have pretty good capacity now. I was able to mow for about an hour, with the fuel gauge still in the green when I stopped (it was beginning to slow down a little, though). Hopefully the capacity will improve after a few charge discharge cycles.
 
1.) What is the proper lamp number for the headlight bulb? I have empty sockets, I tried an 1157 but it is too dim.
 
2.) What are the tire pressures front and rear? I was surprised to find the Elec-Trak brand on the tires, but could not find any inflation pressures.
 
2.) Where do you plug the motorized rear lift in? Mine has a short length of cable with a 2 pin Molex style male connector on the end. I cannot seem to find anything to plug it into.
 
3.) What is the long setscrew for on the top center of the roto-tiller transfer case? The setscrew is accessed through a hole in the bracket. It heads straight into the center of the transfer case. (Maybe an idler adjustment?)
 
4.) How do you lubricate the roto-tiller, and with what kind of lubricant.
 
5.) Any idea where to find the nylon strap material used on the lifts?  My rear strap seems to be a little short.
 
Thanks,
