A start for something ev

[cleatusj]

Picked this out of a dumpster. It has a 24/36 volt GE DC 2hp motor. It came from under a Taylor-Dunn 3 wheel cart.

I was able to acquire the rest of the wiring, charger and components for the Taylor-dunn minus frame and no batteries, at no cost.

I can't wait to see what you make out of it Keith .. Good score .. I bet your mind is racing with ideas of what to do with it :trink39:

they don't go fast like top speed 15 or less.

I would use this for tow trailers like tugger tractor.

Taller tires will take care of that.


Awsome start to some kinda elect powerd project!!! Most of the fabbing is done allready!

They will run on 12 v.

One of the good things is the 4 1/2" x5 bolt pattern.

Great score Cleatus!..my brother gave me a Taylor-Dunn 3 wheeled warehouse cart an order picker would ride,from the warehouse he worked at when they decided to scrap it--but mine had a 12/24V motor also a GE,that was only 1/3 HP,if I remember right,a permanent magnet one..

It was mounted on the FRONT wheel,and had a v-belt off the motor going to a pulley with a sprocket welded right onto it on a idler bolt,then chain drive to the front wheels..I saved the motor and drive setup,but stupidly decided to scrap the cart ,and I gave away the 24V charger to a friend..wish I'd kept the front "fork" and bearings now,and the front rims & sprocket..would have been perfect for a 3 wheeler project I've been wanting to make using an old transaxle & engines I have collecting dust..

Bet that 2 HP motor NEEDS the 2 v-belts,mine would scrub the front tires with a full charge in the batteries easily!..lots of torque in a dinky electric motor compared to a gas engine..
