Re: (ET) E-bay insanity



Chris,

I pulled my I-5 from the weeds for about $100 (came in a lot of 7 tractors sitting around a overgrown back yard) and got it running the same night I started working on it. Just needed a replacement relay for the 2R coil, front tires (from another tractor for now), an used but free set of batteries from the golf cart shop, and a charger from another tractor (which also died the next day) but all in all, those machines are pretty reliable even if you pulled them from the weeds. Fortunately I already had a nice external 36v charger that I was able to use on the I-5 while I chase the gremlins out of those two dead chargers on the shelf now.

Now on to the EGT 120... anyone out there have the schmatics for it?

Matt

When was a 50 tractor days? I got my E20 for $400 about 6 years ago. If
you want to pull one from the weeds, it might be $50 but that would
drive you nuts to fix although it would be a noble effort.

Things cost what they cost. I doubt that anyone can buy *all* of the
tractors, and if so they will be sold again soon.
