The MC7 controller I wrote about earllier has a reversing control input. That works good on a 2 wire motor. Since we have a 3 wire motor, I locked the MC7 in forward and reverse with a 2p2t. dash switch. The switch also turns the MC7 on & off. See the bottom of my wiring page on my web site. http://ralphgv.tripod.com/ I used a pot with a lock on the shaft so I can set the speed and lock it there. I have a winch I will be replacing my lift motor with and currently I am planning on adding a 12V 17ah SLA fed by a 3A DC-DC converter. The winch will be mounted on a steel plate over the charger and feed through a hole in the grill with a fairlead mounted on it I'm converting to Alltrax and based on install pictures I've seen I won't have any spare room in the console so I was going to mount the DC-DC converter and SLA to a panel on top of the front batteries.Diverse Electronic Services at, http://divelec.tripod.com/html/mc7.html also sells Soneil battery chargers The 3610RF looks like a good replacement for the GE charger. It is good for Gel, Sealed, and wet Lead Acid batteries. It would save a lot of room in the front of our tractors for a larger winch. Maybe one of our battery experts can tell us if it would work, and how fast it could charge a pack? They even have a chart on its charging curve if you click on the picture of the unit. They also sell a center off self centering pot for their MCIPC controllers. I don't think it would work with the MC7, but it is a nice unit that we might use for other projects.
