Electric conversion: Project ForkenSwiift

How much are you asking for that torque monster?

[MetroMPG]

I'm going to have it "remotely" evaluated by motor guru

Its the weekend! Time for some work, *whipsdarin*

We're not going to use it. Need to start thinking about building a battery fund, or something.

Good shape - was serviced in '02. Smooth, clean commutator, good brushes. 4 external terminals (easily reversible). Tailshaft. Comes with big lovejoy coupler which you can modify for your project...

@ 240 lbs, shipping's not going to be cheap though

I'd be especially interested in it if I could get at least 100 HP peak from it.

I'd be especially interested in it if it came installed

Sorry, "some assembly required".

What else can you tell us about it (voltage, V-max, amps, shaft type/size, etc.) ? Even the etc.?

If the motor isn't marked, do you know what the original system voltage was?

he forklift was a 36/48v

ell, that wasn't too hard. Got the monster in the garage and took it apart. With 4 major chunks - 2 end caps, the body, and the rotor - shipping may not be impossible after all. Just do it with separate parcels.

Ivan's visiting his out-laws today, and he has a better camera than the antique 1 MP unit I've got. So the quality pics will have to wait until he's back.

Played a little this evening with the ammeter.
