(ET) finally mowed with my e12m...

["Chapin, Tim" <tchapin umich edu>]

Finally got time to work on the elec-trak.  It didn't need much work, just
didn't have the time to play with it..  The tractor needed a good cleaning
and sealing of the battery boxes, gear shifter replaced and general 
cleaning
of connections.  The last thing is to fix the back battery box cover.  Last
owner didn't have the chain stop on it and let it flop all the way back...
The original deck was in ok shape but all 3 mower motors were welded up and
vibrated pretty bad.  I am now glad I got a new (yes new... never used)
wheel horse deck off of ebay last year.  Spent the holiday weekend making
new mounts to mount the deck on the e12m...  Mowed the lawn in no time, no
vibration, very little noise...  My one year old daughter just loves it.  
We
spent more time driving around the subdivision than I did mowing..  Now if 
I
can only find time to work on the 2 e15's setting in the garage...

I am also interested in any advice to the lawn mower pull.  Thinking of
entering my e12m also...
