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.David Roden - Akron, Ohio, USA= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Note: mail sent to the "etpost" address will not reach me.
