Re: (ET) Fw: running tractor on charger

["Gordon Trump" <trumpgordon adelphia net>]

Looks like  I was unclear- sorry- I didn't mean "operate" the tractor on the 
charger (how do you do that? drag a long cord?)

I meant use the charger as a source of power to run motor, deck, pull up 
relays and test repairs- quickie test when batteries are disconnected or not 
yet installed...
