Yesterday I took off the snow thrower and put the mower deck back on.
then I took the E20 back to the garage and plugged the charger in,
Nothing happened! I took it apart and found the plug between the timer
and transformer had a burned contact. (About the only thing I did not
change when I rebuilt the tractor.) Those things will come back and
get you! I also found the charger cover/battery separator (the perforated metal piece) was corroded where it comes in contact with the front battery. This is the second time in 2 years. It creates a lot of white powder that gets all over the charger parts, and starts to corrode them. How often do I need to clean the tops of the batteries? How do I keep the charger from getting wet when I clean the batteries? Should I take the batteries out of the tractor? Since I had, A PWM lift motor controller, A Landis charger controller, The original charger timer, A relay circuit to switch automatically from the Landis to the timer , And a LED headlight resistor circuit, all under that cover. I think I am going to change things around so I can get to them easier. Does anyone know what the color of the corrosion on the battery connections mean? Two of my terminals turn yellow, three get a gray powder, and the rest stay clean. All the terminals are the same material and age. Ralph V
