Re: (ET) difference in foot pedal speed controls between E20EC and E20DA

I believe all the switches have both NO and NC terminals so in that case 
you would just hook it up to the same terminals.Sent from my T-Mobile 4G

difference in foot pedal speed controls between E20EC and E20DA        
Gentlemen,I would like to switch out an old speed control in my E20EC for 
a  NOS E20DA. Comparing fig 6-12 (E20DA) with fig 7-9 (E20EC) it appears 
all microswitches function the same except for one labeled 3A in fig 6-12 
and labeled SW4 in fig 7-9, both located in the same position. The 
difference being 3A is NO and SW4 is NC. I am looking for confirmation 
that if I change out that NO with a NC microswitch I can put the E20EC 
wiring harness on the modified NOS E20DA speed control and all will be 
good! Hope I explained it clearly. Thanks, Mike

                               Being one who dislikes Facebook, I am glad 
this list remains active (although quieter than I prefer).On to the 
question at hand...I have used the E-Z Vac model 40E by E-Z Rake for leaf 
pickup without a mower deck, but I have no experience with the CV70 Turf 
and Hard Surface vacuum by Ecology Products. IMO it is not the tool of 
choice for your job.E-Z Rake offered an optional attachment kit (model 
200) consisting of about 15 feet of 4 inch hose with a wand to be used in 
place of the 6 inch hose going to the mower deck. I created a similar 
concept using 25 feet of 5 inch hose (on clearance significantly cheaper 
than 4 inch). It vacuums up loose dry leaves wonderfully, but wet or 
matted leaves are far slower. Also, the hose picks up piles of leaves much 
faster than a carpet of leaves.Watching the lawn services around here 
(East TN) cleaning up leaves, I think it is the nature of lawn/leaf 
vacuums to perform far better picking up piles of fluffy dry leaves than 
matted carpets of wet leaves. The same crews who mow right on through 
monsoon grade thunder storms, seem to let the leaves dry for days before 
vacuuming them. And then they use two or three workers with leaf blowers 
to fluff the leaves and pile them near the truck.  The vacuum is more of a 
leaf loader that also shreds to reduce the volume on the truck.I think you 
would be better of looking into some type of tow behind or sleeve hitch 
hay rake or pine needle rake. A landscape rake (like Agri-Fab 45-0366) 
might be a thought. If you can devise a way to "dump" it when full, a tine 
style dethatcher might work. Or maybe attach a rubber edge to a snow/dozer 
blade and squeegee them into a pile?Tim MOn 5/2/2019 1:04 PM, Darryl
