an update to my previous post, I've also been going thru the wiring
checking for corrosion, bad wires, connections, etc. I've found a few
and repaired/replaced them but they didn't change the readings on the
power useage meter. I also just cleaned the battery terminals and
connectors, again with no change in readings.
Somewhere I thought I read that the flat wire resistors up front were
to be used only when starting moving and then disconnected from the
circuit. If this is true, I guess those resistors could be making the
tractor use a lot more power as mine seem to get pretty hot after I'm
mowing. I guess I'm back to following the schematics and trying to
find something bad in common between the drive and mower motors.
Thanks, Tony
