My brother found an old lawn tractor in an abandoned yard and took it home. The gas tank was m
issing and it was pretty beat up. If he added a gas tank and a battery, it would run. I suggested that he make it electric just for fun! He started taking it apart without me, by first removing the rear axle/transmission. It's an all-in-wonder unit that has forward, neutral, and reverse. The brake is applied to the high speed side before it gets geared down for the wheels. The tractor has a set of variable diameter pulleys
to set the drive speed. We removed all the brackets and pulleys from the underside of the chassis and I've been cleaning them up. The seat needs to be re-covered or replaced. Now that everything is removed it's time to clean and paint to make it look a little better.
