Old Simplicity yard tractors ROCK!
(I inherited my grandmothers, I think it is about the same age I am.)

Those rear moon caps are nice!

I have three "spare" motors around right now. I think one would work great for the drive, and another might be good for the blades, or it might be a little too big.

I believe the Electrak has a motor for each individual blade. In this case, a single motor runnning a belt for all three blades, and another motor for just running the wheels might be best.
