I drove two hours to NH to pick up four 12V, AGM, 100aH, Group 31, Deep Cycle batteries from Sams Club....At $179 each, easily the best deal on planet earth for quality deep cycle batteries......And no sales tax in New Hampshire!

I mounted the contactor on an aluminum bracket I fabricated

Cut a hole in the dask for the battery monitor

And mounted the "Oh Sh#T" deadman switch next to the old ignition switch which I intend to use as the main power switch.

Just waiting for some 2/0 welding cable and copper lugs to show up from AMAZON and I can wire this thing up and start using it around my property.

While waiting for my 2/0 wire to show up , I figured I'd do most of the 12v/secondary wiring and fabricate a few battery tie down straps. I also had a bit of #2 wire that I used for the less than 6" runs to the various components. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to bend the 2/0 wire as needed. I'll have to keep an eye on them to see if they get too hot.

The plan for this tractor is no controller. Motor is designed to run continuously at 3300rpm. Speed is controlled by tractors transmission.

At some point I might use this motor and batteries in some kind of off-road vehicle, then I'd use a controller.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
