(ET) Fast Starts

[David Kirk <david kirk net>]

Getting my E12 back on four wheels after complete restoration. The 
tractor came with one electrical speed, "Start" or speed #1 works while 
speeds #2 and #3 engage the contactor(s) which I can hear clicking but 
the speed does not change. I need to spend some time with the repair 
manual and track it down.

The immediate problem is that when the tractor is first engaged it 
starts so fast the  front wheels lift off the ground. Sure it isn't 
supposed to do that, is there a slow-start system that has failed, or 
what makes the tractor start without lifting the front wheels? Even in 
L2 it really throws the driver back.
