CANADIANS! You and your geese...
Well, Tim had a powder-coat setup. I had never done it before, so part of it was just to be a new experience. Also, I have heard that powdercoating is just a really good way to protect the metal. This thing is really old, so I am trying to get it it cleaned up to last another 30 or 40 years. Powdercoating only needs one coat. Spray paint needs primer, and several coats of paint, plus all the drying time in between. (Granted, it's not that bad for small parts like these.)
The mower originally was designed for 6 x 6v batteries. I am going to have it as two parallel strings of 3 for a 36 volt system.
I have never heard of an official size yard it is supposed to mow. Last summer, running on 3 pretty junky batteries, it would do half my yard on a charge.
