Re: (ET) Sticking PTO contactor



24 VDC 500 AMP 900 VOLT CONTACTOR



I've bought about 24 of these for cycle testing electronics at work.  They're a pretty good deal at $40, new never used.  Should work fine on the Elec Trak with a dropping resistor in series with the 24V coil.

                        Charlie, GE replaced the Open Air PTO contactor with an enclosed contactor such as used for armature reversing in later production.

I got the I5 out, did the spring greasing, topped up the batteries, and headed out for the first mowing and... nothing.

So I pulled the back off the dash and found all the relays and switches working fine, then pulled the cover under the dash and found I could make 'er go by tapping on the PTO contactor with a hammer.

Very annoying because​ taxes hit pretty hard this year, my compressor is dead, and I need to put a new roof on the house...  stupid expensive part only lasted 40 years with no maintenance, grumble grumble grumble.
