I don't have time for mowing on the weekends anymore (I want to spend that time with my kids), so I've bought a robotic lawnmower (Husqvarna 430x) and am selling my E-15. I restored this the first time around about 10 years ago (stripped most of it apart and stripped all the paint off, repainted, replaced all bolts and screws with stainless
steel ones, etc.). Last summer I did a partial restore, rebuilding the three mower deck motors (and adding the lower rings underneath the deck to greatly reduce vibration), and repainting (but without stripping this time). If interested, see the picture at
this link: https://pubpages.unh.edu/~msbriggs/E15.jpg If anyone's interested, let me know. I'm in the seacoast New Hampshire area. The tractor works nicely. The only issue is that there may be an overly sensitive thermistor, as after mowing for a while (doing most of my yard) if the battery voltage drops
too low, it keeps you from going into higher speeds. The batteries are I think 3 years old, maybe 4. Any suggestions on asking price?
Thanks, Mike
