(ET) Anyone have an Elec-Trak powered Earth Auger ?



Hi Group,

Just wondering if anyone has seen / made an electric Earth Auger, 36V, powered by Elec-Trak ?

I have an old 1-man 2 Cycle gas unit, with broken flywheel fins, that I thought might be a workable base for 36V motor conversion.

I also have a PM traction motor (maybe 1/2 to 1 HP ?) from an old red (Wheel Horse / Toro ?) small riding mower I took apart 20 years ago.

Seems as though I just need a metal adapter plate & shaft coupler.

Deadman switch & appropriate amps circuit breaker would be smart.

Vertical slide frame (like used with 1 man post hole drilling for wells) with stabbers that mount on tractor would be great - or towed trailer.

Electric lift on slide frame would be helpful for large diameter augers.

Any thoughts / suggestions ?

John
