Nice welding. Planning on doing a brake upgrade too?? Weight of batteries?? (or a really long extension cord)??

Thank You!  I’m using a Motenergy ME1118 motor and Alltrax AC2 controller. I don’t have a battery yet, that will be next months purchase

Thank You!  No brake upgrade. I’m using lithium battery so should weigh less than original kohler

Very interesting project! I like what you're doing! 

 

Jusy looking at your tractor- did it have the Command or Magnum 14?

Not many Wheel Horses in the Wilmington area I would imagine. Did the Magnum give out?

 

Not trying to pry. I'm also in NC and I know how these old machines have become much more scarce over the last 10 years. I'm closer to Charlotte and Wheel Horses were all over the place not too long ago. I'm somewhat surprised to see someone with one at the coast.
