RE: (ET) tiller plug and cord.



Larry, I don't know what the power meter ran with the tiller not engaged in soil, but I believe it was very low in the green. My concern is what gage wire the tiller should have. As it was set up here, one leg had 3 gage (this is the bad blade on the plug) and the other leg had 6 gage and the third wire (6 gage) is not used. Maybe I should use the 3 gage and tie the two 6 gages together?

Jim, where did your power meter show when the tiller was running and NOT IN THE GROUND? It should be at the bottom of the green. I'm getting suspicious. In addition, Bill told me (and since you are seeing him, you can ask) that the tiller should be about the same load as the deck.

Tilling today and tiller quit. I thought maybe the overload shut it down.
This surprized me since I had been careful to keep power use down in yellow.
I went to check to see if mower would run. Tiller plug was hot! Took it
apart and one of the screws was stripped making a loose connection. Now the
question. The cord says standard stove cord, 2-#6 and 1#3. The #3 wire is
the stripped one, of course.  Is this the proper cord and can I swap the #6
for the number 3? The blades in the plug are interchangeable, so since I
only need to wires, any problem here?
Thanks
John Briese
btw, am picking up a complete new deck from Bill Gunn on tuesday. Can't
wait.
