My reversing relays didn't fuse; rather, they burned and pitted until they 
didn't make proper contact.  That was the main reason I ripped all that 
stuff out.  

I bought one of the first Alltrax ET controllers built (got it directly 
from 
the factory).  But I didn't get round to installing it right away.  You 
know 
how it is. :-)

And them came the blustery winter day when I plowed the driveway with the 
hood open and the relay panel tilted out, so I could reverse the tractor 
by 
pushing on the relay contacts.  

Cold as it was, the next weekend I was out in the garage installing the 
Alltrax. 

A modern controller made my E15 a civilized machine.  I'd never go back.
