(ET) VT Show
I plan on riding my big two wheeler to the show in VT weather permitting.
If anyone else is thinking of taking their bike shoot me an email and
maybe we can meet up. I will be coming from the RI area.

That's only a dozen tractors so far... we gotta improve this list!
I have more than that here (Virginia), it is of course a matter of getting
something to Vermont and home again.
I'll see if I can borrow back an I-5 that I converted with an Alltrax
controller. Covers the I-5 model AND provides visual for my workshop. If
really lucky with a sickle bar.
For other models, I'll try and post a 'for sale' list soon as I'd be
willing to bring more up if they don't have to come back with me :-) What
comes to mind is a WH C-185 (nice condition, no deck (yet)), a SEARS (very
nice looking - I need to add batteries and test), an Ox (to the right
person who can deal with a bad gear box on one side), an E8MHD (nice
looking, low hours), and in less nice condition can probably find an E8,
E10, E12M, etc (at least w/out decks).

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 :)
