Re: (ET) E12 Stuck in Reverse/B145 traction motor overheating



RJ,
It's a model 26AE12CH. The B145 uses a permanent magnet motor which I have always found to be less powerful than the E12.

Two questions.

What flavor of E-12? E-12 CA to HA, E-12 JA or later , or E-12 S ?

One more question.
Does the B-145 have a permanent magnet or wound field motor? I don't have any WH specific information here. :(

Two Issues:

My E12 was getting stuck in reverse and the machine needed to be shut off to correct the problem. This happened twice then arcing/sparking sounds came from the electronics under the steering wheel and now the machine has no forward or reverse. Any thoughts on what to troubleshot first? I have an E12M I could swap parts off.

My B145 seems under powered and the traction motor heats up and shuts off after about 15 minutes of use. The brakes not stuck on and it has fresh gear oil. Do I need a new motor?

Thanks for any insights,

Patrick McCabe
