I have this which came with a car i bought for spares. It was fully installed with the gearbox and worked. The car is long gone and i have had this for a few years. I'm thinking about selling it but if i could think of a use i might keep it. I mean when else am i going to own an enormous electric motor? I work out of a barn with no electricity but i can't think of a logical way this could help power 'stuff' What would you do with it?    |

I think you'll struggle to find a use for it. ebay (collection only) with no reserve? Or perhaps this Museum would accept it as a donation? It might be useful as a spare or for spares for their current fleet or could perhaps be cosmetically restored for display amongst their milk floats? Birmingham & Midland Museum of Transport |

The obv answer is to ID the box and put it on ebay as an electric motor conversion for that vehical, other than that i guarantee there's more than £15 in No2 copper in there  What's the box from (and hense the adapter plate) ? Those motors are old old old tech now but somone might want to start a leccy conversion and would rather start cheap and upgrade the motor later ? |

The problem with those old motors is,as already mentioned,the technology involved. Stupid amounts of Amps at 45v means a serious controller to control it. Totally inefficient compared to the brushless motor technology of today.
