mortor. what rpm minute?

Hi James, I did the same and used a 13" 18 V Ryobi Rotory motor but can't tell you how many motor speed controls I have burned through. Any thoughts? Right now it is running at the full 2700 rpm without a speed control. It is much to fast and need to find an controller. And I did try the one you posted on your parts list. Oh yes, I am using 24 V Sunjoe Batteries.

Вот самоделкин))) Соседи на него наверно смотрят как на великого инженера!)

How fast is that rotor spinning? I don't think the rotor bushings will survive high rpm for long, and wear will then cause knife alignment issues.

Super cool job you did great but I think it would be a lot cheaper total just to buy like an Atlas self propelled mower that's electric without having to worry about building anything yourself but it wouldn't make the lines as pretty but it would cut the grass if it was a little bit taller better in comparison but nonetheless it looks cool!

Doesn't the front roller flatten the grass? Making it no good for cutting?

Might want to add a kill switch / safety bail to the handle at 2750 RPM

Hey James, late in the game here. Just getting into reel mowing and just bought same fiskelars reel mower and wanting to do the same, the adjustment is not compromise with all the mods? i wanted to do the cutting at highest setting.

Thanks! I took this idea, improved it greatly, then made an AI height sensor that also automatically adjusts the height. Honda, Toro, John Deere, Fiskars and a few other companies are very very interested. I appreciate you posting this - it's life changing, because I will be able to retire at 26 years old.

wow very ingenious and cleaver.. props...

Sprocket you list has diameter that is larger than motor shaft diameter

Thanks for this video.. what it the length of the bracket up to the platform where motor is mounted? I assume this is critical to keep slack out of chain.

Where did you source the black motor mounting bracket?

Brilliant job mate It makes me wonder why do you need the big set of rollers on the back is that for striping? I also wonder about the front roller I know the front roller is going to push the grass down as you move forward and lay it flat and it will not be in a position to be cut by the cutting bar Other cylinder mowers in the UK, such as Allett - after the mower passes, the front roller Theres a second brush roller behind the front roller that spins in the opposite direction to the blades so the idea is it brushes the grass to stand upright to be presented to the blades for cutting There’s another mechanism where they use a comb, in situ, just to comb or rake the grass to the upright position behind the front roller So I wonder if you could convert your front roller to a brush and figure out a way to get that to spin in the opposite direction ….. That would be textbook

great design , wonder will make it with 2 stroke engine

YOU ARE SO CREATIVE I HAVE BEENNA FAN SINCE I WAS 6 IM 7 NOW I HOPE THIS MESSAGE FIND YOU WELL FROM SAL BBQ

Are you interested in selling one. I’m highly interested

I would like to have buy one connect with me

why the music

How did you get the set screw on the back sprocket out? I’ve sprayed it and nothing I do will loosen the set screw. It’s a standard threaded screw correct?

So I have a similar setup as yours, but my motor keeps bogging down as it encounters literally any type of grass and I have to run the speed control all the way up to 100%. I'm using a Dewalt 20v 6Ah battery with the 24v motor. I'm just wondering how tight the chain should be because I feel like it's so tight that it can't power through both the tension on the chain AND the grass.

How did you connect the battery pack to it? I suck with electrical but want to do this conversion lol

Any mods to get a super short cut? All these manual reel mowers only go to 1"

Did you do anything to get it to cut lower than 1”?

Nice job! Looks like a great build. Thanks for sharing and listing all the items you used.

Is the height of cut function still preserved? Like can you change the cutting height?

What is the lowest cut height

Great video. I am stuck at removing the rear chain sprocket. Just way too hard with all tools I have tried and generous amount of wd40. Any suggestions? Do you happen to know the rear 26 teeth 4.25" outer dia sprocket part number. I might as well order one for my project.

How did you remove the original rear sprocket? I removed the set screw but it will not bugde. The front sprocket came off very easy.

…this is brilliant…wow

I’ve been researching this and yours is way better.. thanks for adding links

When you add electric motor does the pushing of the mower also help to turn the blades and the electric assist...or once you go electric is it all electric.

James, You did an amazing job....I am planning to try and recreate something similar...can you post what you did with the ryobi more recently....thanks.

where do I find a mount for the motor that connects it to the steel bar? the screw holes are too small and it also does not align with the holes on the bracket

Great design on the rollersGo battery! Very little output needed. A BLDC motor that could utilize a battery platform you already have would be plenty strong. Capacify shouldn't be an issue either at 4ah or better.

dude. that is awesome!

Just bought today same used mower and looking forward to do the same conversion as you did. Thank you for inspiration buddy :)

What is the part number for the sproket weld-on hub and what is the bore size for both, the hub and the sproket?

How do you remove the gears? They don’t budge. They’re just bending when I try to pull em.

This may be a newbie question but where can I find those metal brackets? Is there a term for that? Metal struts?

Could you just use the two sprockets that are already on the mower? Put the small one on the motor and the big one on the wheel. That way you just keep the same chain?

What size is the chain? #41?

Great work James. Am not very mechanically gifted to do these modifications myself...but you never know. Am looking for someone in Perth, who can convert/combine the Fiskars StraySharp reel mower with the EGO battery system with the telescopic handle...similar to what Allett have done on their Stirling series.

great stuff man ...thanks for sharing

So was the larger sprocket too fast? How is the grass cutting now vs before? Any difference?

Thank you! will keep coming by this chanel to keep up with the project.

Hi! How’d you get the sprocket on the motor to fit? Did you use spacers?

Probably a silly question. I'm not mechanically handy... what are the specs for the longer bolts you used to attach the motor mount?

You could always mount a wheel in each end of a piece of PVC pipe.

Hi, I noticed that your link for the battery has 18v battery while the motor is 24v. Would the 18v battery able to work well with that 24v motor. Thanks alot for your contents!
