(ET) ET new technology and abandoning the ICE

[jim leuba <sales cncrepair com>]

I have an E20 that runs reliably, after I changed the control relays to 
24 volt P&B cube relays with a zener diode to make the coils 36 volts, 
replaced the circuit board connector with a terminal strip, replaced the 
circuit board diodes with new 6 amp 100 volt, replaced 1/2 of the speed 
control microswitches (I just swapped the unused (higher speeds) for the 
lower speeds), and replaced the charger cap with a new oil filled unit. 
 I then went thru all the connectors, oiling each connection with 
transmission fluid (great lube with anti-oxidants),squeezing the female 
faston connectors for tight connections and replacing all the mower deck 
wiring & plug.  I did this work about 4 years ago, not an electrical 
problem since.  Just blade sharpening, belt tightening, steering fixing, 
bearing replacing.  Mower motors now need bearing replacing.
We use our E20 for mowing about 2/3 acre.
