(ET) Mower deck back online

[Chris Z <czunits gmail com>]

Spent the morning working on the mower deck, as I mentioned earlier one 
of the mounts had ripped out. I bought some 1 inch wide by 1/8 thick 
steel plate and after measuring it against the deck, cutting it with the 
cutting disc tool, then drilling out the holes I mounted it with bolts 
to smash the deck back into shape. Next week I'll snug them down the 
rest of the way and weld it to the deck.

With that out of the way I was able to get going and vacuum leaves. I 
can fill a 300 gallon bag on a charge now with all of the batteries set 
to 30 cells, and things seem to be working properly. Now charging at 
about 750 watts, which isn't bad.
