New electric tractor build
Hello everyone, i'm new to this site but i've read through a few of the threads and this seems like a great place to get/share ideas. I'm just in the very beginning stages of building a electric riding lawn mower and I was hoping someone with more experience could help me make some decisions. First off, I got my hands on two used motors, both came out of treadmills and both work perfectly. One is considerably older than the other but still in great shape. I've attached pictures of the ratings for each motor but i'm not sure if they will work for my application and if so, which one is the better choice. Secondly, I have yet to actually get a mower to convert. They are posted daily on Craigslist so getting one isn't a problem but i'm wondering if anyone has suggestions on the best (or worst) mower to convert. Really looking forward to starting this project. Thanks for any help.
