I saw those breakers too. Though the book said 70 Amp? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 25,524 #127 Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) The first pic above is the stock tin foil. That's what failed on the A-60. The second pic is the E9 70 amp circuit breaker I put in and it has worked perfectly. No trips. Edited December 5, 2023 by SylvanLakeWH 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had to wrestle him down to keep him from tearing a plow apart that Jeff had bought and had delivered to plow day this year. Back to the fuse thing. I think that the re-set-able breaker is a much better option than the fuse is. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are correct, I should have said Needle bearings. But if i had said needle bearings you wouldn't be able to needle me about it! The new 70 amp breaker is on the way to @WHX??, Thanks for reminding us what worked for you @SylvanLakeWH Edited December 5, 2023 by 953 nut 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,813 #130 Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) Fuel gauges came in today Richard. Work perfect. Do you want the volts scale or the colored one. It's the faded clear plastic that makes it hard to see. An easy swap and by no means permanent. Also I noticed that the gauge will read 24/7. Would it be wise to add a shut off switch? Not that it has a huge power draw. Again your call Richard. Edited December 8, 2023 by WHX?? 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since it is staying on I guess we should leave it disconnected over the winter, I will rewire it to operate with the key later. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder why WH didn’t do that? The wiring diagram does show it always hot but that's as far as I looked. I thought maybe just an on off switch on the column right next to the nitrous boost switch... BTW all Four corners holding air nicely. Shoulda took it out for a road test today. In the 50s and driveway clean. Got the twisted off bolt out @Achto and re-tapped.

A couple of Lipo batteries hidden under the wet cells should serve as a close equivalent. A flip of the switch changes 36v to 72v. 2 hours ago, WHX?? said: Got the twisted off bolt out @Achto and re-tapped. Thank Jim!! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,813 #135 Posted December 19, 2023 BTW Richard put away for a long winters nap. She's got good company. Covered with a bed sheet. I wired the fuel gauge to the load side of the breaker and tripped the breaker so it's not on. I tooled around on it abit before parking so will periodically start the charger. Sure does make a handy rig for running to the mailbox! 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 25,524 #136 Posted December 19, 2023 She looks lonely there... maybe i take that senior you're using for a clothes line - free up some space ya know - and you tuck her in tight next to the hood top tire storage tractor... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,813 #145 Posted June 24 No problem at all Richard we had fun doing it. I don't remember if I told you but just before I loaded it up for Pullstart's I went to top off the batteries and sparks in the charger and went dead. Hopefully nothing serious keep us posted. Hope your happy with it is a cool little rig. 6 hours ago, Pullstart said: , but will post up a video of Richard cruising this soon! YES!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
