Just a little tidbit that Larry reminded me about.  I talked with Bill for
a long time on the phone trying to find out all I could about my "new"
E-20.  He mentioned that he had designed a custom electric tractor for a
landscaper client and I believe it was a zero-turn, rear-steering unit.  I
think I remember him saying that he would keep the same basic charging
system because its tried and true and less expensive.  I haven't heard any
more about the custom unit.  Please keep in mind when you guys call Bill
and hound him about these things, this is what I remember him saying but I
could be mistaken.
