Hi all, going thru the test an setup on a EGT 120 I picked up an looks 
like 
everything is ok but no RTN in the one, someone removed it..tryed wiring 
around 
it to test but no go...so what I need is a good wiring diagram for the EGT 
120, any one got a copy you can spare, I will pay for the coping an 
mailing, 
thanks, I have the picture view an that is not getting it,

Jerry,

A few years ago I stopped at a New Idea dealer and asked for a Parts 
catalog 
for my NI EGT 120. The gal at the parts desk had never heard of their 
electric 
tractor, but she did get a Parts Book for me. It was a photocopy sent to 
them 
from New Idea. They didn't even charge me for it.

This has the wiring "picture" that you mentioned - one of the worst wiring 
diagrams that I have ever seen. I enlarged a copy of this and have been 
using it 
when working on my tractor. By now it is all marked up with corrections 
and 
wiring numbers that were not listed, etc. It is almost impossible to 
follow 
this thing as a schematic for troubleshooting circuits.

However, that is the only thing I have been able to find that is specific 
for 
this model. Schematics posted on the Net for the GE models are not quite 
the 
same as the NI models. The NI lift motor appears to be unique also - I 
have 
never seen a motor like this on any GE tractors. They all have that window 
lift 
motor, which is a real joke as far as I am concerned.

If you can ever find anything in the way of a circuit schematic for this 
model, please let me know. I would like to figure out how to disable the 
dynamic 
braking feature for the drive motor. Has anyone out there done this? 

I used mine for several years with a golf cart motor, using the control 
switch from the golf cart. When I finally installed the correct motor I 
thought my 
transmission was binding until I figured out what was happening. I DO NOT 
LIKE 
THOSE ABRUPT STOPS! I keep my brakes in good shape, and if I need to stop 
quickly I can use them.
