Electric rototiller conversion
 

My father in law had this old engineless tiller in the trees and I had an old 3/4 hp 3500 rpm electric motor so I thought I'd see if it would do the job. Just used the on/off switch on the motor and engage the tines with the clutch. Took about an hour and a half to build and seems to work quite well! Surprised how much less hp you can used with electric...

Nice project.

Maybe take a short video I would love to see it in action.

Nice conversion! I bet its a lot quieter than it originally was too.

I recently mowed my grandparent's lawn with their gas riding mower. My first thought was 'wow, its loud'. :) I'm used to my battery electric riding mower.

So you are tilling with a cord behind you?
Did you do a chain or belt drive off the motor?
