(ET) More blower goodness



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....
