I finally got that motor mounted to the 30" deck. However I deem it a fail. It would spin the blade and draw a lot of current (30A). But as soon as the blade hit the grass it slowed or stopped and pulled lots of current (80A)!
So I put the cordless mower back together. Maybe I'll get some batteries and use it as it is. My next plan is to build a pulley shaft to run the blade from the main motor. I suppose I might be able to find a multiblade deck, but I'm not waiting around for that. Besides, I dont have enough motors to run a multiblade deck.
Oh well, not what I wanted but it will get it working!
