circuit.With that thought in mind,that Klixon's rating may not reflect
what the traction motor can safely draw.The E-20 tractor has a 125A
Klixon® the lesser tractors use a 100A model.
Does it? I think the big accessory system is driven off the battery, although the klixon controls power for the contactor coil.
