Re: (ET) Selling my E-15

I'd say start at $500 or stick it on Ebay. I have a pair of Robomowers here too for the flat portions of my yard. They do a good job, which frees up the Elec-trak for stuff like tilling and hauling.
My E15 is a complete wreck again now that I torched the NiCD batteries, but I'll work on putting it back together over the summer. In the meantime the E20 is doing everything.

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:

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
