I have three different motors out of a forklift at my house. I also have plenty of welding cable and a few contactors and fuses.

If we dig up a golf cart controller, the only other thing we would need is the batteries.

I think a two-motor approach might be best. Have one motor run the wheels of the mower (controlled by a golf cart controller) and another that powers the blades (turned on and off with a contactor).

This is similar to how an Electrak works, except that it had a motor for each individual blade.

Alternatively, we could hook up a couple of reel mowers behind my Citicar....
