(ET) More blower goodness

[Chris Zach <cz alembic crystel com>]

Did the whole yard this weekend with the blower. Run for an hour, charge 
for three, run again, etc, all weekend long. The bag held up 
surprisingly well however attaching it right to the end of the blower 
leads to a lot of weight on the front tongue of the trailer. This 
coupled with the blower pulling out of the stabs (I really need to drill 
some holes and put in pins or something) leads to a few issues. And a 
fully loaded bag of shredded leaves is *heavy*. I'll buy a 4 foot length 
of 6 inch hose and attach it to the back to put the bag closer to the 
center of the trailer....

Today I figured I'd spend time re-installing the link-20, it's been 
about 10 years. However my wiring harness from the pack to the front has 
shorts and bad wire so I am going to have to pull the shunt block and 
totally re-wire it. That's a job for after I finish with leaf sucking, 
but then it's time for snow season, so I guess I'll do it in the spring. 
The E20 is long past time for a serious overhaul, I also need to drop 
the motor to clear the ground fault from the brushes and probably 
replace the bearings while I am in there.

Never dull....
