Jerry:

I need a motor for the rear lift.
What do you want for yours, if it will fit. I can rewire it if necessary.

Thanks

I have one of the 2 wire lift motors, it was on a E15 I got about 10 yrs 
ago, works fine. It had a ground wire hooked to the motor frame. I do not 
need it if someone is interested let me know
