Re: (ET) Tractor running well how is everyone else.

["David Roden" <etpost drmm net>]

E15 with dozer blade is keeping things reasonably clear here.  The potbox 
for the Alltrax controller has no problem with any cold that it's been in 
so 
far.

The lift (at 24 volts) lifts as fast as I could ask, but it's started 
making 
a worrisome creaking sound.  Maybe I need to grease something there.

I'd sure like to wait until this cold snap snaps before crawling around 
under the beast, though.

The drive belts are slipping a little.  Ditto above. ;-)

After 17 years the batteries (Deka gel) are starting to get a little 
weary.  
They still can do the entire driveway with some capacity left, though.  I 
have some spares, so I guess it's time to test 'em and swap out the 
weakest 
ones.  Ditto above.  ;-)

This tractor is close to 40 years old and still working hard.  Try to 
match 
THAT with a Lowe's or Home Depot tractor.
