Michael, This is just a suggestion and I almost hate to make it but... What about taking a step back and simply fix up the ICE engine and reinstall and return the tractor to proper function as cheap as possible. Set aside and look for a better donor tractor to convert. I find decent older garden tractors for reasonable prices frequently. I just sold a John Deere 8 HP that was in beautiful condition for less than $200. I bought it for $ 50 bucks at a yard sale and all it needed was a carburetor, battery and ignition switch. Found I didn't have time to mess with it so I put it on Craigslist and it went away in a couple weeks. I still have one of those MDK K-Mart 2 cyl tractors that runs and drives and I am hoping someone will come along and give me what the motor is worth and haul it off, as it is not suitable either to build an electric tractor out of. I have a vintage Allis Chalmers that I am looking to convert that I picked up for next to nothing, that thing is built like a brick. Anyway if you find you can get an EV tractor up and ready for the season simply sell the ICE back up tractor. Don't know if this helps but just another take on the situation... Dach.

If you do not know what to enter in a field, you could put: custom, more-later, tbd (to-be-determined), etc. So, I commend you create a page now, and update it as info/detail become available. {brucedp.150m.com} - On Mon, Dec 30, 2013, at 01:23 PM, Michael K Johnson wrote: > While I haven't yet created an evalbum page (stuck on a few answers, like > what to name the project...) ... - -- http://www.fastmail.fm - A fast, anti-spam email service. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
