Great documentation of your conversion! You used the same Alltrax controller that I updated my 1985 Club Car golf cart with. The lead acid batteries you are using are probably a welcome addition to weight? I would love to see a YouTube of your little beast in action!

Interesting, do you ever use it for long periods of time powering the hydraulic mower?

What was the total cost of the parts and how many hours did the conversion take you?

 

[ptz]

GOOD QUESTION. I SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED THAT IN MY WRITE UP.
THE BATTERIES WERE FROM COSTCO - $1000 AND THE MOTOR AND ALL OTHER PARTS CAME FROM ELECTRICMOTORSPORT , I THINK IT WAS ABOUT $1600.

About the same price as a gas replacement.

Things have been great. … fully retired now. … bought an RV and just returned from a winter in sunny Florida. It’s been interesting and satisfying to see the activity in electric tractors. … motivates me to get involved. Thanks for the contact.
Blessings to all my tractor buddies !!

Great write up about your electric conversion. I’m wondering if the same electric motor that you used would work for my PT-425? Might be a little under-powered as the original gas engine is 25HP.
