For several consecutive days of heavy rains, and then a week of sweltering heat up to 35% in the shade provoked the rapid growth of grass and weeds along the fences behind the fence
and front gardens.
Wife with her hands and with the help of a chopper fought for about an hour with the invasion of the invaders, and then said: "Your way out, maestro, only the scythe will manage here." and retired home.
There is a scythe in the household, but the scythe has not been completed yet which year.
Because I'm going to the far corner the garage, where the old Riga washing machine is waiting in the wings.
The electric motor at the machine was efficient
and it was decided on its basis to create an electric mower. As a platform I used the door from the bedside table from chipboard.
I drilled a hole in the center of the engine shaft, cut an M 6 thread in it, and gave a tip to the shaft end with a file for a high-quality fastening of the mower's cutting knife.
Cutting knife cut out of an old two-handed saw,
processed
and ground it on emery.
The rear wheels on the platform are taken from the washer,
front - from a stroller.
The front wheels protrude in front of the platform a little more than the exit of the cutting knife,
protecting a knife from contact with a fence, a border and other "frontal" obstacle.
From above, the electric motor was protected by a casing made of plastic containers.
He made handles of electric mowers from wooden shtaketin,
fixing them on the bed with furniture corners and screws for your height.
For rigidity, reinforced with a wooden strut,
mounted a three-position toggle switch on it to start and operate the electric motor.
The electric motor without capacitor, has a working and starting windings, the connection diagram is classical and therefore is not given in the article. Testing the electric mowers went perfectly. The grass was eliminated along the fence,
front garden
Yes, I took it from a neighbor - how much electric cable was enough.
