Quick review. Everything was fine for the morning's work of hauling hay
making 8 or 9 300ft trips down the driveway with the hay and back.
forward reverse, full throttle, half throttle, crawl it all worked fine
and nothing got hot. Wired in the PTO and poof! up in smoke. What could
be wrong? I have wire 2 from the PTO contactor going to the main
disconnect, wire 3 & 20 from the PTO contactor going to the plug, wire 24
from the plug down to battery negative at the shunt. Just like the
diagram provided with the alltrax and blueprint from Bill Gunn. So
assuming that I did wire it correctly (pretty big assumption and I'll
check it again tomorrow when I'm on the farm again) could there be
something wrong with one of mower's motors?? shorted out or something????
Before I started this conversion this machine did weld the fwd/rev relay
contacts frequently. so frequently that I put in an inline fuse to
protect it. I was hoping to find something to explain that while removing
the old wiring and circut card but never did.
The previous owner I think had the mower motors rebuilt. Should I take
them in to a shop and have them checked???
Any and all suggestions, comments (even wisecracks) would be gratefully
rec'd while I cry in my beer.... thanks....
