How do you know the battery is good? What's the voltage?

Check to see if you are getting any volts to the lift motor. There should be a connector in the wire going to it that can be disconnected and the test leads of a volt ohm meter be stuck into. The motor may be on a dead spot and the brushes and communtator needs a cleaning or the contacts are fried in the reversing relay (or 2 relays).

Bypassed relay and switch. I believe it is the relay. That is what was clicking>

I removed the motor, disassembled, cleaned and re-installed. Same as before. When i diconnect the power plug, I get volts. When I connect the plug no volts. Please help me prior to spending money on something that is not broken.

The plug you are connecting, is it the connector to the motor? Is this where you are reading volts too? If yes to both, it is telling me that the contacts are bad in the relay. Without a load, you are getting enough current past the relay contacts to get a reading on the volt meter. What are they using for a relay? Is it like a starter solenoid or something lighter duty? Are there 2 ? - one for up and one down? What is the volt reading you are getting?

Yes to both. The relay is a black box away from the motor. There are other wires connecting to the relay that the lift motor is connected to. I think just one relay for both. 7 volts down positiona nd 3.2 volts in up position. Thank you for responding. I am stiil waiting for someone to tell me how to change the fluid in a v-drive. I know where and what to do but there is no room for a wrench.

It does sound like you have bad contacts in the relay but, do check what the volts are going in to the relay. Check under load like you checked what was going to the lift motor. A voltage drop across the relay will confirm burnt bad contacts.
I thought I already commented on the V drive oil change! Sorry if I missed it. You suck it out like you used to suck the engine oil out. Before the hose on the crank case through the bilge drain era, this was how you did a oil change. You suck through the dip stick tube with a pump. Did you clear up the ATF or 30W problem? |

The manual says 30wt. There is a screen that you are supposed to removed and clean also. I cannot get a wrench there to do that. I did think about syphoning the fluid out. Thank you

if you have a walters v-drive you can remove the line from the oil pump on the back of the v-drive and fire the engine, it will pump it out for you, try to dilute the oil first with clean oil added to the top of the dipstick and get it up to op temp, good time to check your alignment,
