Maybe the fact that the end of the cable broke off, so it's now a bit 
shorter, made it work better?  Just a wild guess.  But it worked fine for 
me 
before, too, so maybe not.

I didn't know that this was an "ET challenge" since I've not had much 
trouble with the blade lever, aside from the sticky cable (lubed) and 
broken 
cable end (fixed).  I will have to take some pix of my ET's blade lever 
setup as it is now, and post them.  Maybe that will help.  

I still have the blade on the ET.  I'm considering leaving it on all 
summer. 
I'm hoping that the (new-to-me) Avco rider (ER8-36 clone) can do most or 
all 
of my mowing work in the summer.  Much depends on whether it can handle 
our 
hills, and whether its little battery pack has enough capacity.  But if 
so, 
the blade might stay on the E15 year-round.  

By the time I get done with putting on the blade, chains, and weight box, 
the summer/winter changeover takes me the better part of a day -- and of 
course I'm usually trying to do it while the snow is piling up and the 
garage is at 15-20 degrees.  <g>
