| Electric Lawn mower build
I'm finally started my lawn mower build! For all those that don't know, I'm converting my grandfathers petrol Webb lawn mower to electric! I plan to use a MASSIVE rc plane motor. Here's some starting photos from todays work. Here's me building a table for the mower, so I don't have to bend over so much. Here it is! Complete with cobwebs! I opened the gearbox! Yuck! It's full of muck and oil! Ahh! That's much better! All clean! Time to remove the motor! Tadaa! Here's the motor! Updates coming soon! |

Well, the project is finally "over"! The project is complete and I'll be posting photos later today! Even though it's "done", I still plan on taking the mower entirely apart, re-painting, cleaning, re-greasing, ect. Thanks for the support guys! |

Thanks! Will do. Just waiting for the grass to grow! In theory, yes, but it don't really snow here, and I don't want it to rust. | ||
