Conversion to ALL ELECTRIC of Farmall Cub Cultivating Tractor

This is a Walkthrough of the Farmall Cub tractor: My friend David Grau and I put together a few years ago at his company Valley Oak Tool Company, which manufactures wheel hoes, broadforks, and garden tools. This tractor was sold to a farm north of Seattle. This video was made to familiarize them a little with the different components of the revamped machine.

I am in the process of putting files on line so other DIY'ers can use or adapt as they see fit.
