Re: (ET) BB600 NiCds - closeout!

[Chris Zach <cz beaker crystel com>]

If I had space I'd take more. They're good and with the interconnectors 
they are useful.

I wonder: Does anyone have the big rear battery box? I'd love to ride 
with 60 of them in the back instead of 30.

Also I found my Elec-trak edger came in handy this weekend to edge some 
tough vines. Was a bit slow at first till the grease woke up, does 
anyone know how to take the gearbox apart to re-grease it?
