Re: (ET) Darn, E15 motor out too

[Darryl McMahon <darryl econogics com>]

Now that there are a few 36-volt mowers on the market (Worx, B&D, Toro, 
Earthwise, Sears), I'm thinking about waiting for a couple to arrive in 
my life (due to dead batteries) and rigging up a front attachment to 
drive those from an ET.  (Currently I push a 24-volt hand-me-down relic 
which just needed a better charger and 2 replacement wheels - still on 
the original batteries which have 2004 stamped on them.  But I don't 
have much lawn to mow.)
