On the E15, reverse is controlled by using a single relay to reverse polarity on the field. A lot cheaper, but if the tractor is moving forward *at all* when you toss it into reverse you are going to get a relay-melting spark.
There might be a varistor that goes across the relay to absorb the sparks, or a capacitor. If so I'd bet it's blown.

Hi group, My E15 reverse relay arcs alot. I have burnt up two relays. They were both used. Is this because they were old and probably not adjusted properly or is there some other cause I should look for? Can I expect it to work if I order new relays from Bill? Can I expect to find them at a local large electronics supply house? Thanks in advance for your help, Steve Baltimore County, Maryland
