Re: (ET) intro



Very easy to 'hot-wire', just undo the 2 screws on the panel and put in a toggle switch, but don't even need to. Easy enough to just put in a replacement key switch from Radio Shack or whereever.

Hi, I'm new to the list.  I'm not new per se to GE/Wheelhorse
Elec-traks, but I'll be a new owner pretty soon.  My mother has one
that's remained unused and garaged for the past 20-some years and only
lightly used in the 70s.  She tells me the batteries are all shot, but
the electrical system is okay when plugged into house power (although
she admits she hasn't done it in over 10 years).  She also tells me that
the keys are lost.  One question I have for you all is how easy is it to
hotwire an elec-trak?  Is it as simple as connecting 2 wires together or
is there more to it?  Another question is what age issues are there for
an elec-trak that hasn't been turned on in over 10 years and not used
for anything dutiful in over 20 years?  How well would the mower
attachment work after 20 years?
