Unfortunately the Ford Ranger does not belong to me, it belongs to a
neighbor who also has and EGT-200.
I have ordered 12 CALB 100Ah cells for my EGT-200, they should be here
7/19/2013. They are being supplied by Don Blazer. Two of the 12 are being
supplied by my neighbor with the Electric Ford Ranger.
I now have to figure out how to handle the 12v tap for my winch, lights, and
the tap for the front lift. I cannot tap my Lithium pack, it would cause it
to become unbalanced. I am thinking of adding a 12v AGM battery, (I have
several laying around), with a DC-DC converter to keep it charged.
I just made a modification to my mower deck rollers to stop the center holes
from wearing out and stop the axle wear. I installed sealed bearings in the
end of each roller.
The bearings are 499502H Sealed Wheel Bearings size 5/8" ID x 1-3/8"OD from
floorsrubberparts on EBay for $15.00.
I have attached three pictures.
