GARDEN TRACTOR TO ELECTRIC CONVERSION / JOHN DEERE 214
If you saw the other article I wrote a month ago about the TORO “Lawn” Tractor that I converted to electric, you saw that the “Operation was a success….But the patient died!” The little “Lawn” tractor’s transmission and tiny axles could not stand up to the massive instantaneous torque of the Motenergy ME1004, 13HP, electric
SPRUNGER RD33 Radial Drill Press Refurbish
I’ve always wanted to add a Radial Drill Press to the shop. But any that I looked at were either too expensive or “boat anchor” junk. Perusing FaceBook Marketplace I saw what looked like a reasonable condition radial drill press and only $125….and close by. A phone call confirmed it was still available so without

Linear Motor for Kicker/Trolling Motor Steering
I recently downsized my boating. I sold my Mako 23 with a 225HP Mercury Optimax and bought a 14.6′ Sylvan Sport Troller with a 30HP Mercury, tiller steering outboard……Time to spend some time fresh water fishing!

The John Deere 214 Garden Tractor that I recently converted to electricity ( http://rvbprecision.com/machine-tools-welding/garden-tractor-to-electric-conversion-john-deere-214.html ) developped a leak in one of the rear axles.

TENT TRAILER to UTILITY TRAILER….A Covid Project!
I’m bored! This is week two of Covid19 isolation. Sitting at home with a garage full of tools, I need a project. This spring I plan on filling my lawn to level it out and reseeding. I need a small garden tractor with a plow and able to pull a York Rake. But I have
TORO Lawn / Garden Tractor Conversion to Electric
I always wanted to convert some type of vehicle to electric propulsion. I thought about a car or truck but the cost and complexity was more than I wanted to get involved with. I thought about a boat to cruise around the harbour, but the range and Time on Water was poor with the number
International Harvester Cub Cadet 782 Garden Tractor Renovation
I was looking for another project to keep me occupied during the Corona Virus “Stay At Home”. I was in need of some type of tractor to use around the house to move my trailers as needed, grade some area to plant grass, push some dirt around, and general tractor stuff. But I didn’t want
