Electric lawnmower repairs
 
1 Attachment(s)
Here's a cobalt electric lawnmower that had its initiation wire chewed up by a puppy.
I added 3/4 conduit because that was the first piece I found. Make it slightly more puppy resistant. Repaired for less than $10, charged $50. https://ecomodder.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1723335403

Edit: I tested it out, this thing sux. It's got no power. The blade was beaten blunt and I never ran it with a blunt blade. I can't imagine how terrible it was when it was using brut strength which it absolutely doesn't have to cut the grass.
My junk loaner mower with a no compression 140cc engine that's on its last leg is a huge improvement over this thing. My black and decker plug in mower that I had from 2006 to 2017 would be a huge improvement assuming it was still alive.

My first electric mower was the 80V Kobalt, and I could 'bush-hog' with it if I was patient.
She finally hit a concealed Cedar stump in some tall grass, and it destroyed both motor bearings instantly.
I failed to get the motor apart, thinking our local bearing supply house might be able to provided matching hardware. LOWE'S couldn't, or, 'wouldn't' do anything for me.
The ATLAS 80-V I replaced it with, is made in the same factory as the Kobalt, and I've been able to keep it alive for a couple years now.
