 Looks like there are two roller bearings and an "O" ring for a seal.

I thought they were needle bearings but :confusion-shrug: definitely just a o ring for a seal.

First pic is what blew

OK now I remember Sylvia... are you saying the orginal one blew? I saw those breakers too. :handgestures-thumbupright:

 Though the book said 70 Amp?

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.

Jim, you are being too good to me. 

 

Jim just can't leave anything alone. :lol: Not one of his worst qualities though. :thumbs2: 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. :lol: 

 

Back to the fuse thing. I think that the re-set-able breaker is a much better option than the fuse is.:twocents-twocents:

You are correct, I should have said Needle bearings.    :eusa-think:          But if i had said needle bearings you wouldn't be able to needle me about it!    :ychain:

The new 70 amp breaker is on the way to @WHX??,   Thanks for reminding us what worked for you @SylvanLakeWH

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.

:handgestures-thumbupright:         The colored one would be my preference.      :confusion-shrug:        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.

Done... never give it a thought to try and wire it to the key. 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... :laughing-rolling:

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. :handgestures-thumbupright:

:eusa-think:    Have to think about it.      Might be a bit risky to have the wife on a juiced up  :wh:!          Not too sure how to add nitrous to an electric horse anyway. :confusion-confused:

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. :D

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!:lol:

Yours for 10k Sylvia and I doubt you have to outbid Pullstart who has dibs. No extra charge for the barn dust the clothes line does not keep off. :laughing-rolling:

Those are pricey Firestone 23s ... figured a :ph34r: would take them over a electric jobby..

That's not your price Dan ... just Sylvia's... well maybe Pullstarts too if he doesn’t quit buying $$ rigs for his wife. Second thought she deserves it living with him... :D
