Don, 

 This is GREAT news! about Bill Gunn and his business. Yes I think you have
hit it right on the head, an ElecTrak is not a gas tractor and as such
should not have to compete with them. You have to own one and use it to
appreciate how well it performs given it's 30 years old. I keep one or two
of them in the basement for overwintering and all ways enjoy looking at 
them
knowing they will be ready for spring. (sometime I ever run them around the
basement just for an winter ET fix). No gas going bad to worry about, no
fumes in the house. My wife say I would have them upstairs if they would 
fit
through the doors.  I see the messages about how expensive batteries are,
yes they cost more to operate than a gas tractor but I think you will find
they are much more fun and will always be a bigger attraction than any 30
year old garden tractor. The best all ways cost more. If you get a 30 year
old tractor just to save money you will be disappointed. 

  Your tractor rebuild should be an inspiration to all of us. I know it has
spurred me to get my E20 rebuild finished. The pictures are great and we 
can
reference them to problems people are having with their tractors. Example,
Where is the main disconnect switch? and what do the connections and fuse
link look like? See five and Six
