Re: (ET) elec traks on ebay....

They were available, also. A note here, for those accessorizing their Elec
Traks....Any automotive type accessories, that require a chassis ground,
must be modified for use on your ET. No electrical connection of any sort
can be SAFELY made to the ET chassis. You might get away with it for a
while.......until another component on the tractor 'goes to ground'. Then,
the smoke will fly, and the fireworks will start. The most common culprits,
in order of 'popularity', are. A) The traction motor armature terminals, 
B),
The Delco Lift Motor, and C), The armature resistor bypass contactors.
