The biggest problem with the Alltrax conversion is it doesn't come with a pot box that fits the GE tractors as I found out. Your left to figure that out for yourself and it adds to the cost.
Some people want hand control and others want foot control.
I'm setting it up with something called an optical quadrature encoder which I can setup as a foot or hand operated control.

Hopefully I'll have a small prototype in a week or two depending on what goes on around here. I have a motor sitting outside my electronics lab from an E15 (I think?) that I'll experiment on.

I'll post my findings.
