(ET) Cooked contactor

[Chris Zach <czach computer org>]

Well, I pulled the right pair of contactors on the E20 today. What a 
pain in the rear; they had to run a wire between the contactor links, 
making removal a serious pain.

However there is no doubt; the contactor is going bad. One could see 
that the stud's insulator plastic is melting from the inside.

For the moment I have mounted it upside-down, moving the bad contactor 
to the reverse side of things. Now it runs great in forward; lousy in 
reverse.

Does anyone have a spare push-pull contactor set? It's two contactors 
mounted together on a bracket. Anyone pulling apart their E20 for an 
Alltrax job is welcome to let me know :-)
