Great thread Daox!!
I have been given a pair of craftsman mowers that I would like to electrify, one has no motor & the other is working with the ice, both are gear box models. I do not weld, but do have a small milling machine & lathe, do you think it is practical to bolt up the battery carriers?
How big a motor do I need with a 42" two blade deck?
Can I get by without a speed controller?
What about running a dual voltage set up using a series/parallel arrangement with solenoids?
My daughter had a battery explode, I never thought it would happen this close to home.
Cheers & thanks.
