Re: (ET) Trouble with my C-185



If power meter shows current draw when in forward with no motion, I'd include diode failure (diode-varistor assembly) in the field wiring issue possibilities.

Or the main contactors as suggested, which I'm thinking are the 6-terminal metal-cased ones?

The loss of upper speeds, and the use of the Cruise/Power Pulse button

Is there any indication of current draw when Forward motion is
attempted? If so, there is likely a field/wiring issue. If not, do you
hear the armature reversing contactor pull in? If you do, and no current
draw is evidenced, suspect a failed set of high current contacts in one
of those.

This tractor uses the single coil,plastic reversing contactors, does it
not ?

Looking for help on my C-185.
Tractors runs in Reverse, but not Forward.
I've been fooling with it in neutral with the seat switch engaged.
When I switch to Forward, one of the reed switches kicks in, but
pushing on the accelerator gives me nothing.
I swapped out a few of the reed switches with some spares I had, but
no luck.
