Re: (ET) Toaster/reverse help.
It's 64 oz of oil in the transmission (= 1/2 gallon). Directions here:

For the E15, do you have the model number? ie the last two letters from
the serial number tag, will be something like EA26E15AA or EA26E15BA
etc. Or is the PTO switch 2-position (off-on) or 3-position
(off-on-start)? The later models have different wiring so need to know
in order to troubleshoot. The toaster does need to be there. As you say
it is for the low speeds.... the strips are resistors that use up some
of the power as heat to slow things down for the lowest speeds.

Hi Gang,
There's no better way to get your mower up and running than your current
ICE mower taking an indefinite vacation.
Here's where i begin. I have 2 E15's and 1 E12M. The E12M went in
reverse only when i bought it so i thought that would be the best
candidate for getting running real quick. Well it turns out nothing
works on it right now. But the one E15 "works". After dragging it out
of the basement i flipped it on it's nose and filled the tranny up with
new fluid. I read somewhere it takes 2 gallons so that's what i bought
back in the fall, well i couldn't even fit 1 gallon in. Hummm maybe i
read wrong. Well testing the system on it's nose i was able to get it
to go in all gears forward and reverse. When i brought it down on all 4
tires i couldn't get it to move without maxing the amp meter out.
Well stupid me though removing the charger and toaster was all in the
same back in the fall. So i just added the toaster back on. Can
someone give me a brief rundown of what the toaster does? I remember
someone saying it's there to deal with (insert electrical terms here)
for the low speeds. Now it seems forward speeds all work great. But
reverse just seems to put off a lot of heat in the toaster. I don't
want to burn it out so I didn't push it more than trying 2 times for 1-2
seconds at most. For now i'll build up the mower deck as i await
suggestions from the wise and all knowing council.
If anyone is in the Buffalo area and wants to come over to teach me a
few things I'd be more than willing to let them.
Thanks for the help ahead of time,
Tim
