(ET) E15 with broken back. *sigh*

[Chris Zach <cz alembic crystel com>]

This morning I went out and rescued an E15. Sad little thing, was parked 
under a tarp for about 4-5 years after all the main parts were removed. 
I did get all the parts as well.

So I trailered it home and used my E20 to pull it into the yard. Not a 
very happy tractor; the rear battery box had rusted to the point of 
collapse, the front panels were rusted, the electronics had all been cut 
out and was in a jumble.

All simple stuff to fix to be honest. New box and sides can be installed 
with rivets and ease. Elec-trak wiring is simple and since all wires are 
numbered re-assembling it would be a snap. Welding on side fenders 
should not be a big deal.

However stepping on the rear accessory bracket mount causes the mount to 
go *down* a bit. Which means the back/frame is probably rusted too far.

*sigh* Any thoughts?
