Hi Peter Anderson,
thanks for those pointers, I read the e series sixes are known for those problems. In getting bored of the trusty Laser and crave some muscular torque up the hills!

Good luck with the XC Fairmont GXL build. It will be a sight to behold.

I admire the creativity and flexibility with your mower builds. You and NormK got me appreciating the low arch deck mowers a well as the high arch thumb latch variety I am obsessed with.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
