The controller is a Curtis Lift truck controller (24 Volts). The tie rods are also fork lift parts. (Brake Linkage). I will be using a 24 volt drive motor from another fork lift. Can you see the theme here?

Data plate from motor Hard to read in photo. 2.5 K/watts

I have not secured the batteries yet, but they will be side by side in front of the motor. Probably garden tractor batteries. More to come.

[Frank McGrath]

I did that to piss off the old men and little boys that wear bow ties.

Hey Frank, Can you explain the motor setup? Looks to be a golfcart style motor. Did you have to fabricate the output shaft in the engine?

[Frank McGrath]

The motor is from a Crown Pallet Jack. It is a standard motor available from the original 60 PE up through the newest model PE 4500. I did not have to fabricate the shaft, as it has a brake assy on it in its original form. I found the sprocket in the McMaster Carr catalog. I will shorten the shaft in final construction. The shaft has at least 2 stepdowns. I did have to shim the sprocket away from the motor. It is a 24 volt 2.4 kw (3.3 HP) The motor is cabled to the controller, which came from a crown pallet jack. I had the motor mount fabricated by a local metal shop. I will gladly answer all questions.

Well, I got it moving today. I was working in the bed of my truck, with the stool on blocks. The motor actually ran. When I put it on the ground, it would not move. Oh well, theres always tomorrow.

I spy a Camaro in the garage. Can't tell, either 67, 68 or 69. Going green on the bar stool, good luck.
