Re: (ET) Bennington VT Swap - items

[Jeffrey Tickner <jeff tickner gmail com>]

I'm a little north of Keene in Marlow, NH and I have 2 transaxles I picked 
up in a parts deal but I have not tested.
I'm not sure I will make it to the show but Putney, VT is pretty close if 
it turns out you need a transaxle.
Let me know, I would let one go for a good 6 pack of local IPA :)
