(ET) New Electric Tractor

[Anthony Bailey <a636ccr semovm semo edu>]

Hello all, well my Wheel Horse C-185 Elec-Trak arrived last night, this
tractor is huge!. At least compared to the gas push mower I've been using
to mow our place. A quick status for you. He's been stored in a barn for
quite a while, definetly needs cleaning. The five remaining batteries are
empty and swelled, the sixth one was missing. He's just a little rusty
around the edges where the batteries were stored at. Needs a mower guide
(looks like a "U" shaped piece which hooks onto the front frame rail). The
seat needs replacing.

On a better note, the charger works good, the sheet metal, frame, red paint
looks good, the tires look good with the exception of the right front tire
(cracked and leadking). The mower deck looks fine, no apparent problems.

I'm checking with a friend who works at a local golf course to see if I can
get a good deal on some used batteries. I've also got the owners and parts
manuals with it so hopefully I can get it working soon.
Talk to you all Later, Tony
