Hi,
I am new to the forum here...I just knew there were some admirers of the Electric 90!
I had to read the rules through an itty bitty window, so if showing a couple of mowers for sale is wrong...sorry.
Long story short, my Dad drove an electric car for years and a fellow told him that he could have his John Deere Electric 90 if he could pull it out from behind his barn.
So Dad pulled it out, cleaned it up, bought some batteries and a 36V charger, made a few small repairs and more or less retired his gas powered Cub Cadet. (Once he got the Electric 90 running, he really didn't feel like using the gas mower)! His yard and extra adjacent lot were probably closer to an acre than a half acre...I just thought it was amazing that they worked as well as they did. It still runs fine. The Interstate deep cycle batteries are probably 4 or 5 years old, but still cut about 3/4ths of that large area before needing to hit the charger for a while.
Sure is nice not having to run for gas, change oil, plugs, air cleaners, or winterize it. No stale gas or gummy carburetor problems, either.
After he had this mower a while he somehow acquired a second mower minus the deck, batteries and seat. It still appears to have the drive motor installed when I saw it last week.
I didn't see anything in the rules about offering it for sale, but if I missed it, please just let me know. The mowers are located at my parents house in the midwest near Lincoln, NE. If these mowers are something that you may be interested in owning you can just reply to the CL listing. My Dad passed away last year and I don't have room for these myself or I would take them.
You can find the listing and pictures on Craigslist under Lincoln, NE/ farm and garden, or click the link at the bottom.
One complete and running mower, one matching mower less the deck, seat, and batteries. You would also get TWO 36V chargers (not sure why he had two of them, unless he was eventually going to put one on board.) There is an anderson connector pigtail that can be attached to the battery pack so that you can just drive up to the charger and plug it in. I would really like to see these go to someone that appreciates them.
Thanks.
