I had an issue with totally random (seemingly) stalling.
Only when the machine stopped moving, but the loader was fine did I think to address the suction boot that has gotten me before with the same issue.
Just ordered the new new new boot kit. Hopefully they actually figured it out properly...
They are not cheap chinese sht.. I have disassembled them and they are very good quality Japanese cells that sell for 4 to 6 bucks each when new. They also have a good quality BMS built in and each unit is sealed and waterproofed.
You forgot quiet. I want a virtually silent machine also. An indoor machine is nice for digging out footings or pipe channels in an existing space.
Also I think most duel fuel propane motors need to be gasoline, not diesel.
I don't think it would add much. Regen really only works well with fast moving wheels (lots of rotational energy) with good traction. Too much regen/electric braking will just cause muddy tractor wheels to slide.
An electric forklift was definitely on consideration list already for harvesting parts... a good sized the motor controller, motor and electric hydraulic pump.
I think I am gonna pass on the Kubota HST tho and wait for a more suitable non-HST machine.
I will update the thread as and when I...
Wow... go away for a weekend and just watch the conversation wander around!
So
1> The whole point was to get rid of the diesel motor not replace it with another diesel ICE generator that would cost more than just replacing the dead motor. I want a machine that makes minimal noise and it dead...
I love getting input from the folks with much more tractor experience than I.
I am thinking the HST based tractors may not be the best choice and just direct drive the wheels with the motor.
The accumulator was just a thought. I think if I could just drive the existing hydraulic pumps with a...
Don't worry about the loss of service.. this is definitely a background project for me and I have a great solid working noisy polluting diesel tractor in the meantime!
Having seen the comments and the HumVee conversion in progress, I am starting to think a hydrostatic transmission tractor may...
Thanks GD!
I did an online hydraulics course which was super helpful. This guy is a college professor and does a good job of putting all his courses online if anyone wants to brush up their skills.

You are correct, the...
Ha.. yeah, been watching this dude for a year or so now and developing the E-vehicles/wheelchairs for his girl.
I was holding off on watching the Hummer project til he got further into it, but just got upto date after you posted. I love how much room there is when all the ICE stuff comes out...
Yeah... that's kinda what I was thinking, probably a two motor setup. The hydraulic pump(s) for the B26 don't really look like much of anything. I am not sure exactly what it would take to replace it with electric at this point; but open to suggestions!
I was thinking also of a hydraulic...
There will be a massive push into electric everything in the next decade or so. I am hoping to see conversion kits similar to what are available to convert automotive applications.
Depending on how the tractor is used, I think it would be a good fit for a number of applications; especially in...
Honestly I have not used the PTO ever. Only ever used the Backhoe and loader. The motor and motor controller would be matched to the load requirements as much as possible.
I was really looking for leads on anyone that has actually done this or something similar.
I have followed a number of...
