When Bill quit the
last time, I went and got a complete set of e-15 decals, gages, battery box
and side panels in case he did actually quit before I started on the e-15
project.. I never got around to the project. Everything is still
setting on the self unused. I don't want to sell them but could be
persuaded to let them be used for duplication. (If they don't get ruined and I
get them back in there original form).
As for mower motors,
if the person that made the contact to electric tractor on the decks could
follow up on the price for deck motor. My contacts to them didn't
work. They have to be able to bolt up to our or other
decks,
Front lifts are 1970
drivers power window motors (revamping the grounded case to 3 wire units) some
one has a web page showing this. Also the late 80 early 90's s-10
passengers power window motor look like they are the same
stile.
Other readers on the
group have used 24v adv wench to replace the lifts as a mod or upgrade.
Personally it looks like the way to go, get a faster, stronger lift with no
strap to brake. Would bet you could run them on 36v because of the short
use cycle.
At home I have the
bulb numbers to replace the 12v headlights and dash lights to
36v.
Let's see...
mower motors covered, blades covered, e-15 decals covered, front lift
covered. I don't think we are in that bad of shape if we use the lists
resources.

Fine, he sold EVERYTHING and
although you didn't say it, I assume that includes used parts. But as
far as
I can tell, that everything does
not include an exclusive list of suppliers. Do you think there's any
chance he
could give (sell?) us a supplier
list? Unless the organic farmer wants to go into production, a supplier
list won't
affect him AT ALL! Not only
that, but every supplier I know keeps the prints of old jobs so if someone
really
needed something, it might be
fabricated. I don't know international law but I don't think there is
any
infringement. Second, I
doubt he sold his exclusive diagnostic services. A 900 number would
still be an option.
Bill could patiently listen to us
waste our own money moaning about what he has cost us, and probably
make more than he has in years
doing consulting. Personally, I wish both Bill and the organic farmer
well.
Finally, for others who want
'showpiece' machines:
Decals-- Find someone with
a clean machine. Either have them use a portable scanner or a good
digital camera,
modify the results in Paint Shop
Pro or something, and print on weatherproof decal paper. I haven't done
it to a
GE, but it works
elsewhere.
Time to be creative. I
don't think Bill will object.

After lurking on
this list the past week, there's a couple of things you should
know:
The
Costa
Rica guy already has a
deposit down with Bill for everything.
The
sale price is about $100,000.00 (must be one big organic
farm).
It
includes everything - all parts, dies, jigs, blueprints, records,
databases, cross-reference lists, everything.
There
are some things he doesn't want (i.e. snow blower blades), but Bill has agreed
to warehouse them for him for some time.
Bill's
not releasing the name and address of the buyer until at least the deal is
done, and the buyer agrees.
Bill's
not accepting any orders per the terms of the agreement with the
Costa
Rica
guy.
So put
your hundred dollar checks away, it won't do any good. Bill is not even
listening to any counter-offers.
Frankly, our only
hope is this deal falls through.
