The power regulator gets extremely hot (probably red hot), even with the 
power disconnect OFF.  I have to remove a wire from a battery to stop it 
from 
happening.  On top of this, the control fuse (middle, #3) blows the second 
I 
put the power disconnect on.  To me, it means a short.   any suggestions 
of 
where to start the hunt?

At the same time the PTO Contactor blew and I ordered one from Bill Gunn 


bill in Maine

i recently had similar problems but was successful by standing the et up 
on 
its back end and following the various wires along their passage.  obvious 
problems like wires rubbing on turning pulleys, missing wire ties, broken, 
burned wires.  
    did the same in all the upstairs electrical compartments, rebuilt the 
main disconnect, and off she went  remember safety poles or ropes when 
standing it up. good luck, jon k
