It's been a slow moving project, but making enough progress now to post an update. When I joined the forum I was looking for a tractor to convert using a salvage '15 leaf I bought (see my initial posting). Since then, I bought a 1964 Oliver 1800 with a seized engine to be the recipient. I...

Hi everyone. While my zero turn mower project patiently waits for me to find a perfect pair of worm reducers I have started on a much more practical project that enjoys much broader support here on our farm. I am converting our Hefty-G cultivating tractor into a battery-EV from it's original...

I'm looking to basically use my civic as an electric golf cart/tractor on the farm. Obviosly doesn't need to go fast, but something with some torque would be ideal. Any ideas for what kind of motor I should use for this?

I am in the design phase of converting my 1953 Ferguson tractor from internal combustion 2 Electric Drive. I am planning on using what is cheapest and available to me. I work at a junkyard and I have access to Toyota Prius Transmissions which have the electric motor houses in them. Also I have...

I thought I had a thread here on my electric riding mower project, but apparently I only briefly mentioned it in my introductory post, and then posted some pictures, videos, and information in various places. I have a more complete thread at http://www.mytractorforum.com/showthread.php?t=230278...
