Looks to be pretty decent shape. Is the charger integrated into the tractor or a separate unit? Is that a Wheelhorse seat? They are extremely uncomfortable but if it is it may be worth $75-80.

That's a rare beast to find! Looks pretty good and even has a sleeve hitch. That deck looks quite substantial.

Is that setting in the charger to tailor the charging rate to the age of the batteries? I suppose the batteries are setup in series. Yes more photos would be desirable.

a guy in my town has one like that...he uses it all winter to plow his driveway

i always wondered what it was it moved really slow and made no noise when i drove by then i noticed it said GE on it

he piles up the snow pretty good...i guess the battery weight really helps on the traction

If I understand that dial correctly... they designed that tractor for a range of 10 years? Is that adjustment for aging batteries?

So is it 6v, 12v or 36v? I would guess 36v but ....3X12v would make sense.
