All very well made points on this forum! Appreciate your inputs!

How do you know a bad battery message is being sent? The Delta-Q charger flashes the error code for "Bad Battery".

Tried connect/disconnect battery to no avail. Speaking of CANBUS, can I simply unplug the CANBUS connector from the battery so it can't send the, "Bad Battery" signal to the mower? Without that signal, maybe I can run the mower? Or, the disconnected CANBUS will send the bad battery signal...

Thanks Grumpy, but when I turn the mower on, it draws .055 Amp, but will do nothing more. Usually a contactor goes clack, but I get nothing. Dosen't look like a battery problem, it's a problem detected by the CANBUS system. Anybody know how to troubleshoot that?

Old fuel?

New-to-me Craftsman E150 Riding Mower is getting stowed for winter. Any advice on battery maintenance over winter? It's a Li-Ion battery, so is it best to leave it on the charger, or just periodically charge it during freezing temperatures?

Can you rotate the blade manually, or is it seized? Electric motors for blades are not forgiving of striking hard objects like a gas motor with forgiving belts/pulleys/idlers. A mechanical or electrical interrupter has caused your motor to not run. With a history of gas JD's, Cub Cadet, etc., I...

New to the forum, but can't help but wonder if Ron ever got this attachment into production? Looking for a light weight loader to add to my John Deere 175 Hydro. Does such a thing exist?
