Re: (ET) [SPAM] Mother Earth News Article (was Electric Farmall Cub)

["Chapin, Tim" <tchapin bf umich edu>]

I would guess it like the funk v8 Ford 8n's.  The block is part of the
frame so a new frame needs to be built up to hold the front end to the
rear and have the proper motor mounts.  There was a place out west that
made frames for the fords for a while.  Could drop in an old flat head
or even a modern v6.  It was called apple city iron art and powder coat.
There web page went dead and I haven't been able to get any info since.
I was thinking about contacting them to build up one for my ford 9n to
convert it to electric.  Maybe some day when all my other projects are
done.  My ford would be perfect if it was electric.  I manly use it to
put in boat and lifts.  2 hours straight running would be max for it's
use.  
Ellery Deuville converted an old Massey Ferguson 135 (ford clone or ford
cloned it, not sure which).
