Alas, Midwest flooding has taken my trusty N/I EGT-150.  It along with several pieces of equipment (Haban mower, two mower decks and a nearly completely restored rotary broom.  At 8-10 feet above flood stage the Electric tractor was no match for waters that completely submerged everything stored in a garage. Because of the speed of the advancing water and a mobility issue that I have been working on I had no opportunity to remove any of the equipment in time to keep them dry.  This week I pulled everything out and began to survey the damage. All electrical components have formed rusty corrosion at terminal ends and on battery posts. The tractor is completely covered in a thin layer of mud and corn stalks!

My question for the Elec Trak experts and engineers out there:  Is it time to say goodby to the old girl and call the scrap dealer?  Or, given enough time could one completely disassemble it, carefully cleaning each component upon reassembly.  Could it be saved by upgrading to an Altrax controller?  I don't have any experience with these although I believe that performance is better than the original design in most cases.

So. I am open to any and all suggestions from the community.
