I have a 1979 Ford 555 Backhoe that workers amazing other then the 3.3L diesel appears to Be blown.
I would like 1.5-2 hours of run time , I’m content with the tractors slow nature and already have a level 2 50A 240vac charger for my Nissan Leaf.
I am a dual ticket Power Lineman and Electrician and have welding and metal fabrication capabilities
Simple Series wound DC motor (warp 9) and Lead acid batteries were my first thought , i am interested in what you guys thought ?
