Converted my old 1960's 17" Atco cylinder mower to run on Ozito 18v PXC batteries. Done on the cheap as a trial running an escooter 500w brushed motor and basic PWM speed controller.

Chain alignment is not perfect in this build due to issues with the length of the motor shaft and sourcing sprockets to suit the old style chain and the modern style motor and required some 'precision' angle grinder machining.

At last I'm free to mow the lawns at midnight.

Next up the 20" Morrison (Alroh) ( utilising a brushless motor. Nominal voltage and motor wattage to be determined.
