20 below again thats 4 be;low F. limit switch froze again,. the limit switch stops the winch when it lifts the snow blower, why does it cut power for lowering the blower also, guess I will have to call sears tec guy

got out the meter and checked the limit switch, and its OK. that leaves the relay, put the hot air gun on it and it worked perfect, let it freeze again and it did not work , so I need a new relay sure will be nice when the little bugs get fixed,

it is not the limit switch it,s the relay, I warmed it with the hot air gun and it works perfect, it looks like a solid state switch dont know what freezing does to it but it gives me a open circuit, when its cold and wont work,. sears said they wont give me the relay it has to be installed by a tec . guy,. for the warenty

waiting for the sears guy and I started shaping the alum. 1/2 inch rod for my cabin on the tractor,. using the ball for towing, to bend the rod, turned out pretty good ,. I wont need to much welding to finish it ,. Ill mount it on the tractor , for the welder and clamp it together so it stays straight,. I hope I can do what I think ,. wish me luck Don

I finaly found out what was wrong it was the power switch , I went to a electronic store and picked up a reverce switch, up down for a winch, put it on and no more problems,.
