David, I have something you could use - the complete frame for the big tractors with a good battery box. This is from a tractor that was never sold.. The dealer stripped all the wiring and electrical parts to repair other tractors, and I bought it years ago to restore my E12. I never got it done so I want to sell it to someone that could use it. I am in northern Indiana 10 miles from Sturgis, Michigan
I am not sure how to post a picture to this forum, so I put a picture on my web site. It is in a shed with other stuff around it. The link is:

I might have one of these available if I look through my stuff.
