A bit but what it will do is not bog down so much when lifting. Remeber it is a series motor not a pm one.

Hey, thanks, guys.  I'll pull it apart this evening.  It makes no
sense to me to have a CB in there, I'd rather use a properly sized
dash fuse or breaker instead.

RJ, has that 25 amp fuse ever blown?

Chris, if I put the motor at 36 volts, won't that make it run faster?
I want the bloody thing to run SLOWER, not faster, since it has no
limit switches for some reason.

I suppose I should try to figure out how to put a limit switch on it,
so it'll stop when the mowing deck is all the way up.
