Re: (ET) ok, not the fusible link

I'll check 'em. Since it's working in reverse though, shouldn't that mean
all those connections are fine? My understanding from the schematics is
that the forward/reverse relay reverses the direction of the field (ok,
reverses the direction of the current that makes the field) to swap from
forward to reverse, but the same connections on the motor itself are used.
No? If that's the way it works, it seems like the connections at the motor
should be fine. I think.
If it twer me would check the RTN contacts and open the kickplate,
Which are the RTN (Return to Neutral, I think?) contacts?
put some WD better yet a good breakfree on all the big relay terminals
then tighten em.
I assume the kickplate is the plate just in front of where you sit? :) If
so, I've become somewhat familiar with things down there as I've poked
around. I've sprayed the connections with De-Oxit, but haven't loosened
and retightened all the connections.
A bad connection at the 3 big terminals on the armature resistor guard on
front would cause this too. Breakfree em and tighten em.
Armature resistor guard? Do you mean the connections to R1 and R2 on the
"screen" above the charger?
Thanks,
