(ET) E-15 parts for sale

[David Brandt <ev_dave13 yahoo com>]

Well, I dived into the electrical system of my E15 (AA model) restoration 
project the other night. I already knew I was going to make major changes, 
but when I looks at the rats nest of wiring, complete with some brittle 
wires and an almost complete lack of markings on the wires, I came to the 
conclusion I needed to just completely redo the whole thing, so that I 
will know for sure what everything does. Since others could probably use 
the old parts, I'm offering them for sale here (hope that's OK, sorry if 
it isn't) and on the forum at elec-trak.com.  Pictures of all items are 
posted at http://www.davesevs.com/parts4sale.htm

Card No. 1:

The card itself is in good condition. All components on the card seem to 
be intact except for the 3 gray round electrolytic caps.  they look like 
they have spilled their guts at some point. Fortunately, the cap. labels 
are readable and replacements are easy to obtain from an electronics store 
(mouser, digi-key, etc). Note that I have not tested the card, so while 
everything else seems to be OK, it may not be. That's why I only want $10

Circuit Breaker:

This is the 50 A klixon CB that has the red button that sticks through the 
upper dash panel. Seems to be in good condition. Slight rust on screw 
terminals. I'll throw this in free with Card No. 1.

Field weakening resistor card:

This card seems to be in good condition. One of the resistors appears to 
have burned out at some point because a previous owner removed the 
contacts from the burned resistor and attached them to a replacement 
resistor, which is larger and thinner than the originals (probably helps 
with heat dissipation) and sits between them. The original is still there, 
but is a little discolored. $10

Armature resistor assembly, charger cover and timer:

The resistor assembly is in excellent condition. The perforated metal 
charger cover has some surface rust but is in good condition. The timer 
has the original connector intact and has been tested and seems to work as 
it should. $20 (The line cord could use a new plug).

Charger assembly:

I tested the charger and it seems to work properly (40V output, see the 
pics). The capacitor should probably be replaced, as there are signs of 
leakage around its base, though it did work OK.  The remainder of the 
assembly is intact and in good working order (though it has surface rust 
on it). It has the connector for the timer intact. $25

Seat "Bucket":

This is the actual sheet metal "bucket" that bolts to the top of the rear 
battery box cover. It is in excellent condition except for surface rust. 
(I know, it looks worse, but it really isn't). When I got my tractor, the 
seat bottom cushion was already gone. It had the back cushion, but since 
that was literally falling apart, I took it off. I'm using a complete new 
seat, so I don't need the bucket. $20

Headlight assemblies:

These include the frosted lenses, the reflector assemblies, bulbs (still 
good), bulb connectors, and the mounting hardware, including those little 
teeny plastic spacers. One reflector has surface rust over about a third 
of the inner surface, so it needs to be polished up. Mine had the wires 
connected using wire nuts. I cut them off below that, so there is a good 
length of pigtail coming off of each bulb. $10 Forgot to take pictures of 
these, sorry.

All parts ship from ZIP 31312. I'll take payment through paypal only. If 
interested, email me offlist at ev_dave13 yahoo com.  Include your 
shipping address so I can calculate shipping (you pay shipping).  Note 
shipping for the charger will likely exceed the sales price due to the 
weight.  Thanks.
