Re: (ET) Repaired Transaxle

["MR23 \(Christopher M. Meier, Mpls, MN\)" <mr23 mn rr com>]

How about wriring an article for the club elec-trak site detailing
your transaxle repair, especially including Bill's tips, while it is
fresh in your mind?  I'm expecting to tear into mine after leave
sweeping season is over, before the snow flies.

Maybe the book can be scanned onto the website?  Is it specific
to your model, or does it cover all the elec-trak transaxles?
