Clearing some land I had just purchased I ran across a General Electric Lawn Tractor with an electric mowing deck. Not too bad shape for sitting outside. It looks like any lawn tractor, but under the hood is a box for what looks like 4 auto size batteries under the seat a box for 3 more. The mowing deck has 3 motors on top and I guess 3 blades under. If anyone is interested it is in southern WV.

I would be curious to see what one of these produced with today's motor and battery tecnologies would be like. I've worked around battery/electic forklifts, sissor lifts and other eguipment for years and if these are properly maintained, it seems like they can't be killed.

I've still got part of one that had the JD name on it. They did a pretty good job but the battery cost is what cause so many problems for them. The parts I have and what you have are probably the same just a differant name on the 2 of them

Sell it to one of Al Gores green supporters, they talk electric vehicle use. Might get enough money to buy a tank of gas. Maybe put on a canopy of solar cells to charge battery. Eco-friendly to keep EPA happy and raise the selling price, maybe in California. Or borrow some batteries and see if it works. RN

Dig a hole and cover it up ! The company I worked for back in the seventies sold those thing's. I think they were called Elect-Tracks. They were never worth a damm!
