(ET) Acquiring E15 - Questions

["Poush, Andrew (IndSys, SalemVA)" <Andrew Poush IndSys ge com>]

I am almost the owner of an E15 Elec-Trak.  It's at my house now and the
soon to be former owner has my deposit.  Pending one mow of my yard we will
settle up today.

I'm very pleased to have found this tractor at the very moment that I 
needed
one.  And the seller is only 30 minutes drive from my home on Roanoke, VA.
I do have some questions however:

Is the tractor supposed to be as quiet as a golf cart?  This one makes
substantially more noise, transaxle related, I think.

What is the 250V outlet on the left front used for?

Has anyone fit a larger steering wheel (3/4" shaft)?  I want my wife to
enjoy driving this tractor, too.


Thanks,
Andy
