I have an E-20 [model 26AE20AA, serial number DP20045] which is, as far as 
I can tell, still has its original wiring, although it may have been 
tinkered with.  When I purchased the tractor it had dead batteries but was 
wired such that there would have been  18-volts across the lights and 
24-volts across the lift.

I have only 2 speeds, the slowest speed and what seems like the second 
slowest, while the transaxle is in gear.  A check of the hood revels the 
front resistor pack is heating up after a few minutes of travel.

When I operate the foot pedal by hand with the transaxle is in neutral I 
can hear the switches close and a can hear a corresponding change in motor 
speed for all 8 speeds.

Any thoughts as to what to check first?

Thanks,
Bill
