Hey EL Escort,
I'm down here near Huntsville and I am doing an electric riding mower conversion too! I'd like to see your mower when it's up and running...
I'm converting a Turf Pro with a 12.5 hp B&S to a 1.5 hp Leeson 36 volt Perm Mag electric motor. It won't fly like it used to, but I expect it to turn the blades and pull enough to mow my yard. I was going to test it out @ 24 volts as well, and mount a foot switch to run the motor until I get around to buying a speed controller setup. The motor should be under load every second it runs, so I shouldn't have a problem with it running out of control and burning up.
