(ET) Stalled my snowblower
Well this was a first. While blowing about 6 inches of soupy wet snow up
my driveway I noticed the tractor slowing down, then the auger
*stalling*. That's new, granted it's a lot of power but still quite
unusual. Voltage meter was at the floor, so I stopped, backed down,
cleared the chute of sludge, and checked the tractor.
Sure enough the wire going to the disconnect (new style) was *hot*
indicating a loose connection. Great, another thing to fix. For the
moment I wiggled it enough to get the driveway done, then on the way
down used the blower as a plow and abandoned the tractor at the bottom
of the driveway.
Supposed to rain tonight, so it will melt in a day. Next project is
remove disconnect, clean with wire brushes and the like and re-install.
Is there a way I can build a test load that would dump about 200a@30
volts to load test the packs and find any more weak
connections/interconnects/bad cells?
