Re: (ET) Deck Motor Alternate Use

Personally I hope you will give your real ET deck motor to John J., and let him buy you a 120VAC motor for your lathe! 

I wish I had "spare" 36vdc motors.  If I'd picked up every free 12vdc or 120vac motor I've been offered over the years I'd have four or five hundred of them laying around, but nobody's ever offered me a clean working 36vdc motor for less than $120, much less for free.

Great idea Harry.

in fact I could use a replacement motor.  One died and I replaced it with a B&D 36v unit.  It seems 2 years is about all you can get from that model as the bearings are loosing it.

PM me Robert and save my mower deck.

Why not sell it to some ET owner, and use the money to get the right motor for your application? Or keep it as a spare? There are plenty of motors on ebay. AC motors are cheap and don't need a controller.  Or get a 3PH motor and a 3PH speed control. Plenty of those take single phase input.

Subject: (ET) Deck Motor Alternate Use

I have a spare fat deck motor that i am tempted to set up as a drive motor for my lathe. Only issue is i cannot seem to find any DC Motor controllers that output around 40v. They are all 90+. Any ideas?
