I have a 2001 JD gator 4 x 2 (2 wheel drive). It had an under powered air cooled single cylinder 10hp motor. Plowing snow with it was a little hard on that motor and it would get hot and start to rattle. So I found a good shunt wound motor D & D brand ES-32C-7 elec motor and stripped it down and went about putting it in. Since it is shunt would it has regen. I set it up for 72 volts and have 6 12v batteries and an additonal 12v batt for acesories.

I origanaly had it extra heavy duty cogged belt drive but it has so much torqure I had to switch to chain drive since the belt would jump.
