Re: (ET) Power Pulse Required Most of the Time

[RJ Kanary <rjkanary consolidated net>]

         You will have a rough time finding a centrifugal switch on 
THAT model Chris. :)

            The 2AH relay is prevented from 'pulling in' if the 
armature current is perceived to be too high. That prevents field 
weakening.

          Looking for high resistance connections may result in a 
remedy. If only one knowledgeable owner is operating the tractor, 
simply bypassing the relay contacts with a jumper provides fast relief.

            Listen to the tractor and watch the meters. It will do 
whatever you ask it to. :) Without making smoke.
