On another note, I'd be interested in the details of how you adapted the 
Alltrax pot box to the dash control lever on your E15.  I decided to make 
my 
first modification to a Wheel Horse C-185 with the foot pedal speed 
control 
and it turned our quite well.  My next upgrade might be a W/H B-145 or 
maybe 
an E15 with the dash mounted lever and I'm looking for suggestions.
--------------------------

on my E15, I removed the dash lever assembly and replaced it with a switch 
for the Alltrax reverse input on a piece of plexi (used the dash lever 
assembly mounting holes).

The Curtis throttle pot supplied by Alltrax I mounted in the resulting 
cavity using angle brackets so that the lever rotates in a vertical plane 
running fore and aft.  To get a foot-pedal actuation, I mounted a piece of 
aluminum plate on a hinge to the right side step, ran a piece of 1/4" rod 
up, through a hole drilled in the horizontal surface where the aluminum 
meets the steel of the front battery compartment, and came up with a 
linkage that works.  Eventually I'll have a little documentation with 
pictures on a website but if you need more details before that let me know 
and I'll take some and send em.
