Re: (ET) Transaxle



 Chris I think the bearings are available from most Bearing Supply 
companies. I do have an extra trans from an E-15 I have been using for 
parts.  If you need a gear or shaft I can check to see if I still have it. 
  I'm in Ohio but I think UPS will go that far.   Rob. .

Good news: I looked in my shed full of stuff and sure enough there was a 
spare Elec-trak charger. Diodes were good, swapped over the capacitor, 
put it in and everything is good now.

The old charger just made a very LOUD hum with no voltage output, I'm 
guessing the primary coil shorted and that was it. I've put it into the 
shed with a big "BROKEN" sign on it, will use if I need parts. I prefer 
the plastic base to the old wooden ones anyway....

So with that done, it's back to tractoring with all three of them. Still 
need to think about the E20; the transmission makes rumbly noises but 
the main drive pulley is not wobbling so it's not that. I'm thinking an 
intermediate shaft bearing is failing, best option is to probably just 
replace it. Anyone have a spare within driving range of Baltimore MD?

I am driving close to Albany NY this weekend so if someone up there has 
one and wants to get a Sunday breakfast or early lunch that would work....

Chris
