B-145 Motors

Recommended Posts

lexadmn

I have a B-145 / model C720 that is   .....well, pretty ruff shape.
I no longer have any intent to bring this thing back to life and I was planning to salvage the motors (if I can find a use for them) and scrap the rest.
What voltage run the motors on these? I have looked and none of the electric motors have anything identifying them, nor voltage requirements.
I did download the manual but seen nothing for motor voltage.
It has 2 - lift motors (front and rear) and a drive motor.
I did connect 12 VDC to one of the lift motors and got no response.

 

Thank you.

If I'm not mistaken they are a 36 v system powered by six 6 volt batteries.

 

I'd be interested in the tractor, as I am sure others would be as well. Although distance for me (11 hours) is a factor... 

 

Please don't scrap it! They are not very common.

 

Perhaps there are others...? @Evguy

It would be a shame to scrap, as they are getting hard to find.

 I would like to pick one up to restore but ideally closer to home.

Interesting information and Thank you gwest_ca for locating this. 
I don't think I have any reason to scavenge the motors, so I moved it out back.

To sit outdoors and further deteriorate? 

 

Why not see if you can sell it to someone who will do something with it?

Rough? :eusa-think:

 

That looks like it is in its prime! A little elbow grease, loving care, and it will be gorgeous!  :banana-wrench:

I must say that tractor is standing up on it's own as good or better than mine.

Please put a harbor freight tarp over it.

I think he's got the 'let it rot' mentality.  Oh well... another one bites the dust.

I would prefer it did not "rot", but I am not going to stop it. Someone else will have to step in for that.

well...   I cannot list it in the classifieds as I do not want to sell it and I have not found a "FREE" section on the forum or I would list it there.

You could just post in classifieds and note "Free" for the asking price. It's been done before.

Just mark it as free or simply sell it for $1 and donate the $1 back to the buyer

I would really hate to see that tractor just rust away. I hope someone takes it and at the very least gets it inside and out of the weather. Someone that collects General Electric tractors would probably be interested in it also, they must have some kind of website like we do? To the best of my knowledge they are the same tractors just different colors?
