(ET) conversion
My John Deere E-90 is basically a conversion from a 'gas' tractor to 36
volt electric. Theytook a model using a vertical crankshaft engine,
stripped out the engine, tank and whatever, left the transaxle.The
electric motor is about 4" dia, mounted on a swivel (shaft vertical) so
the motor can be moved to tighten the drive belt to the tranny. motor
runs at full speed all the time (just on or off), 3 speeds plus reverse
in the tranny. The deck is probably also from the gassy, they just took
off all the bearings and drive belt, put in 2 electric motors vertically
for the mower blades. It has a simple "lockout" control system that
uses two solenoids, one for the drive, one for the mowers..
I could take a pic if anyone wants.
