General Electric lawn mower

[JW]

I have possibly have posted before. Any way this riding lawn mower is a General Electric, very rare. I have some reverse engineering planed. for this thing...
It appears that the main drive motor has three wires.

Will be interesting to see the motor's nameplate.
This one might be too old to be using an AC motor. Those are some nice sized wiring for what looks like the battery chargers.
You ever find an owner's manual or schematic?

Hi Bruce,

If I see three wires from the main drive motor, I think we will have something to reverse engineer.

While looking a Gary's site for a specific update to a test solar water heating system I did find another site you might be interested in

This on Gary's website has some pretty good pics too.

Looks like the motor is mounted under the back seat/2nd battery storage area.

That's one heck of a motor!!
