Re: (ET) E20EA troubles - and here comes the snow!

The big circuit breaker mounted on the motor. It powers the contactors and all that good stuff. Check to see if it's open or has been knocked off. If open and you need the tractor try bypassing it and don't overload the thing.
Note: Blowing 2+ feet of snow uphill and pulling >300a from the pack is not in my mind "overloading" :-) 

Wish we had 2 feet of snow. Sigh.

RJ, Larry, Walt, Nick, all,

THANKS!

I'm sure it's something stoopid, but I haven't figured it out yet! I did
check the keyswitch, brake switch, and seat switch... all are good, all
are making.

There's only one other suspect in the path to ground. The schematic RJ
sent sure points a finger at "CB-3 in motor"... what the heck? A
low-current circuit breaker "In Motor"? I'll know soon enough... I have
to suit up again to get out there and under the thing to have a look.

I hope you all are safe and well in snow or not, and thanks again for
your replies,

LOVE THOSE TRACTORS!

    Hi, all,

    I'm stuck. No forward speeds, no reverse speeds.

    My ol' manual only has schematics up through AA and BA, and I think
    I'm missing something important!

    If I use my finger to actuate RTN or RTN-R, the tractor behaves
    perfectly. But neither RTN not RTN-R will pull in by itself!

    Anyone have a schematic for the E20EA?
