RE: (ET) ryobi

["Pestka, Dennis J" <Dennis Pestka TycoHealthcare com>]

I recently picked up a Lawn-Boy electric.
The previous owner had converted it to run off his Elec-Trak with a cord.
He did a great job and did not cut any connectors and saved all the pieces,
so bringing it back to original was a piece of cake. He had all the 
original
manuals with it also.

Just got it running over the weekend.
It is the 36V model that used (3) small motorcycle batteries.
I cut 45 minutes and it was still going strong.

My only concern is those small mortorcycle batteries will have a short 
life.
I will send a picture to the club web site for posting.

Good luck with the Ryobi.
That is the model I was hoping to find.
I have heard that it is a great mower.

Just bought a ryobi walkbehind yesterday at a commission sale, seller
said that it didn't seem to charge so gotta do some looking.  Tag on it
says "factory reconditioned" so must have been a problem before.

Probably be an interesting experiment.
