That's why I dropped in the Alltrax controller.  

I lost reverse in the middle of plowing the driveway. The relay wouldn't 
quite pull in.  I finished the plowing job with the ET's hood off and the 
relay panel tilted down so I could push down the relay to back up.  

Back in the garage, I found that the new relay I'd bought from Bill Gunn 
and 
held in reserve didn't fix the problem.  It appeared to be (another) card 
problem.  At that point I decided it wasn't productive use of my time to 
(again) troubleshoot the card.

The person who is devoted to maintaining the ET in original trim (for 
whatever reason) might do well to consider a complete rebuild of the 
control 
electronics, using all new components.
