Could be loss of field . Before panic sets in however, open the
hood, and look at the armature resistors.If one starts glowing just at
the time the power falls off , you may well have an armature resistor
contactor issue.
BTW the model type of your E-20

Subject: (ET) High current in reverse - E20
Lately, when I put my E20 in reverse, it seems to work ok until I get
past the second 'step' on the throttle - then the power goes away,
the voltmeter drops to 0, and I start to get that hot electric smell.
I assume the field must be going open, but it never happens in
forward. I need to break out the schematics, but thought I'd see if
anyone has had this.
Just finished the first snow plowing of the winter - had to remember
not to be smiling when my wife was watching ;-)
