I am trying to get a bunch of local folks interested in collaborating on building and or converting a cultivating tractor to all electric. Here are some web links to related projects.
Here is the web site on the group of Tech guys that got together to convert an Allis Chalmers G to electric

He says he has built 3 from scratch electric tractors for sale for under $6,000. !!!!
Many of you have reported having trouble finding old Allis Chalmer G Tractors. This inspired me to build a "From Scratch" electric tractor. We have three prototypes now, and they will be available for sale for around $5500 (complete, not as a kit) starting in 2010. That's not to say that the electric G's aren't AWESOME! If you find an old G, you should definitely build your own! It's fun! Otherwise you can contact me for more information by going to the "CONTACT US!" page on the www.flyingbeet.com website.
Here is the pdf file for the Electric Converstion:
