Re: (ET) my new E12s update



Are you one of the folks that are running your ET on 3 twelve volt batteries ? If so, I think I've found your problem. <VBG>

And the Lincoln Locker is a bad idea if you you don't want your lawn to look like the tee area of a driving range.Plus you will probably break something.

Illinois Tool made the Duo-Trak® differential for the 2300 Peerless® trans axles used in other makes of tractors.Since the METI soon to be introduced product uses a Peerless® trans axle, maybe the differential is available as a retrofit. :)

So I studied the manuals, looked over the conflicting schematics, and scratched my head, and poof, first try, I jumped pins 4 and 5 on board 1 and off she goes. i shall have to see if one of our parts guys has a good board, probably not the last problem I will have with it. 

SO, next question. Has anyone ever welded the diff in one of these? Holy crap, the thing is hopeless!!! Plenty of power, but it just can't put it to the ground. I had to jump out the seat switch so I could get off an PUSH. I will have to work on the switch also because I need to be able to lean to give traction to the slipping wheel. Maybe Quaife will make a Torsen diff for it! The tire pressure was mid 20's, so I put it down around 10, more like the manual says, and it seemed better. Might need some ballast. 


The mower deck seems to dig, especially when backing, seems like the brackets that hold the rollers in the back.  Also, are the mounts supposed to offer more resistance, one side seems to collapse pretty easily, to the point that it will back into the front tire.
