RE: (ET) ET on ebay



I've repaired worse.  Twice.  The electronics are probably mostly dirty.

I received a handful of pictures that show the tractor has sat outside for an extended time.
I'd expect the only thing usable off it would be the motor, transaxle, frame.  Or have people
who rescued tractors from fields found the electronics to be in usable condition?

Here's the reply I got on the ET currently on ebay:
 
Thank you for your inquiry regarding the GE Elec-Trac tractor,
This tractor has not been run in many years. The batteries are cracked and
so unusable, however there was a plastic liner under them that prevented
them from damaging the area beneath . The blades are controlled by  motors,
the seat is in good condition. There is some surface rust but does not
appear to be rusted through anywhere. There are no attachments. It has a
charger and cord.  The tires are inflated and do hold air. It ran 16 years
ago and  hasn't been used since. It was stored in a barn. The tractor is
located in Medina, OH which is about 30 miles south of Cleveland. For the
purpose of estimating shipping our zip code is 44256. We have no idea what
it would take to get it running again. I am assuming it would have more
value as a restored collectible.
