Ben's Rat Rod ElecTrak Lawn Tractor

Hey guys,
I've been working on a little something lately.

I have an old Elec-Trak frame kicking around. Those were electric tractors built in the 1970's by General Electric. Unfortunately, this was just a junk frame - no motor, most switches and controls shot, no batteries, missing wheels, etc.

So, I fixed it up partly with junk, partly with old project components.

I dropped in the 10" Nissan forklift motor that was originally in the Electric Geo Metro and 6 Nissan Leaf cell modules.

I'll add some more photos and videos soon. In the mean time rest assured that the tractor can now pop wheelies!
