reverse works fine but no fwd travel.
fwd used to work a little bit, but none anymore.
fwd travel did not die completely in one go.
the performance fell ayay, fairly quickly, with an increasing frequent "chattering/clattering" noise...
i can hear the contactor pulling in both fwd and reverse directions...
i have fiddled with the potentiometer....opened it up and cleaned and lubed...no apparant improve...
also messed with contactors....i found one which was quite badly eroded...cleaned it up with file and re-installed....
is it possible to re-do contactors in this method?
or is this a big no no.
btw, all the other functions on this machine work fine.
its a 24 volt model
the brake switches are fine.
i pretty sure battery voltage is fine too.
pls help

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
