Re: (ET) Elec-trak Digest, Vol 22, Issue 78

Hi all, it has been a longtime since I replied to a message
but I do have a question that maybe someone can answer.

I have an E8M that I am currently working on and am not
able to raise the deck with the lift handle. I have an
Elec-Trak owners manual and was not able to find any
thing in it about the lift lever or how to raise the deck as
right now it scrapes the ground when I tried to use it
a long time ago.The lever moves but does not seem to
be connected to the deck. If anyone knows anything about
this, I would appreciate any information. I also have an
E-15 with a mower and rototiller that I plan to restore,
but the E8M comes first as I could really use it to mow
with. I hope that this goes through as I am not to good
at some of this stuff. I tried looking up the Elec-Trak web
site, but could not find it. Thanks for any help. Dan Eyk
