Welcome to 'Holiday Magic in Lakewood Ranch: A Christmas Montage'! Join us as we share highlights from our unforgettable Christmas vacation in sunny Florida. Throughout the video, you'll see how we enjoyed delicious meals, played ping pong, and even strummed a few tunes on the guitar. We even indulged in some juicy steaks and spent hours opening presents on Christmas morning. Of course, no holi...
it sounds nasty! That is a way to find issues, so use a mechanics stethoscope to pinpoint exactly what bearings or bushings are sqealing like they are misaligned. Kinda sounds like all of them, to me, mixed with some chain noise. I think you seed a spring chain tensioner & a little chain slop to allow slight motor misalignment, and to clean the reel bearings (or fit bearigs if they are bushings), and you might want to add a small flywheel to dampen motor for cutting stresses. Good luck, I'm about to attempt something similar.
Link for motor??
Link for the motor?
Hey nice st up any vids for an update? Its been for years. Im about to do the same but im. Jot sure how it actually works. Thanks.
Getting ready to do this myself. Thanks for the video.
Would be interested in buying the motor bracket or a template
This is great! I am actually in the process of doing my initial conversion to my Fiskars, however, I’m having a heck of a time getting the rear/large sprocket off. I had zero issues with the small sprocket on the reel, but the large just won’t loosen. Any suggestions? My mower is in great shape, and I’ve seen other posts saying the large sprocket is much tougher to remove than the smaller one, but nothing has worked for me yet. Any advice is much appreciated!
Great job, looking forward to seeing it cutting. This may be a dumb question but could you use the mower without the motor drive turned on, even with the chain attached? Or would that be bad turning the motor when its not activated.
Do you have a parts list and source for the parts?
Why not direct drive?
This is exactly what I want to do with mine! Well done
I did almost the same thing with my mower but I am noticing the blade stops or slows with thick grass. I am using the same motor as you so there is plenty of power. Is there a clutch or something that needs to be removed to make the blade not go into a free spin?
Very nice job. Subbed.
Did you have trouble with the rear sprocket set screw? Front came off no issue, the rear on the other hand won’t budge. I’ve sprayed PB Blaster, tried a number of different combinations of hex wrenches, torque wrenches, etc….no luck.
I’ve watched a few of these videos, do you think this would be possible to do with an an electric Ryobi weed eater, I take a used Ryobi weed eater strip the externals and essentially it’s a battery with a speed regulator and motor. From there, figure a way to mount and attach the motor into the chain?
I was thinking the same, but the weed eater doesn't have any torque at all. It has that cut off when it gets resistence. Might be able to bypass the peice that cuts the power for that I guess haven't dug too much into it, but still wonder if it has enough torque power or not.
Any more updates on this? Thanks
Nice, what height can you get it down too? Also need to share / sell the plan for the plate so we can order one!
I can get down to about 1/2" with the smaller wheels I put on front. I'll see if I can make a drawing for the plate. It does depend on which electric motor is used.
Does your motor run warmn to hot after mowing ? And how much for your bracket only ?
No, I just cut the lawn yesterday ad it was about 90 degF and it ran fine. I had a machinist at my work site cut the plate for me.
How thick is the mounting plate ?
Did you have a template for the mounting plate, or a list of parts you used?
Yes, I created a template from a piece of cardboard and located the motor and holes using that. The bolts to mount the plate were just longer versions of the 8mm bolts on the original mower. The bolts to mount the motor were sized based on the motor I bought.
Great video! Would love to see it cutting grass in the wild. Who made you the mounting plate?
Thanks Matt, I'll post a video of it cutting the lawn next. We have a machine shop at work. One of the mechanics cut it for me from a cardboard template I made.
Looks like a blast! Sounds awesome!!! Wish you were closer!
It was definitely a blast!
