Selectboard authorizes up to $3,000 to test/replace tractor ECU

Dec 23, 2025

After a highway supervisor presented repair quotes showing an ECU cost of $1,320.95 and a full harness/ECU job at roughly $10,906.94, the board authorized an expenditure not to exceed $3,000 to replace the engine control unit if testing shows it is the fault.

The full story

Highway supervisor Mark Robinson (identified in the record) described diagnostic findings and repair quotes for a tractor’s electrical/engine-control system, telling the board the engine controller (ECU) quoted at $1,320.95 might resolve recurring fault codes but that replacing both harnesses, ECU and labor would total about $10,906.94. "So the engine controller, the ECU, is $1,320.95," he reported.
