there are many LMTV parts resellers on this forum... MME should be your last resort... like Ronmar said. his $30 fan solenoid switch (Colt did the same thing ). is over $300... total thievery ..

this is what I used...17lbs will probably last a lifetime

well.. from first hand experience running Superbikes (Suzuki and Aprilia)all over the S/E in CCS and WERA for 20 years.... tech regs stated no antifreeze (takes to long to dry when spilled) we all ran Water Wetter or Evans... made absolutely zero difference in engine/coolant temperatures...

considering the highspeed crawl of a tractor....balancing seems moot.... additional weight for traction ?.. for sure

Unless you have several high draw accessories AND a 200 amp alternator (100 amp is “stock“) your best bet is a 2 battery set up… the 100 amp alternator is woefully inadequate for a 4 battery set up…

as for the technical specs of the equilizer appears to be @30mA

the meter has been wonky since day one.. using my Fluke meter it's a tad over 27v at the meter...

as a side note... Amazon's item description does not specify if the battery equilizer is waterproof....thus why it's "mounted" under the battery box cover..

Volt gauge at idle Equilizer voltage , engine off, battery disconnect switch enabled....
