OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Reel-Type Mowers Add electric power to push reel?

My new mower works very well for 80% of my lawn, but the remainder is uneven and, combined with grass type, very hard going.
The old mower was ~35cm wide and the new is 45cm.

Any suggestions on how to mount a battery drill to a hand reel mower?

thanks, mike

G'day MikeDD, and Welcome to O.D.K.

This is indeed an intriguing question...

Having said that, can you possibly post a couple of images of your new mower [the 45cm one], and fully explain what it is that you want to achieve?

Perhaps then, someone here may be able to assist you.

I have tried unsuccessfully to run a 600 litre/hour pump with an 18 volt battery drill to transfer water between tanks on our rural property. It didn't work because no matter how tightly the chuck was done up on the 1/4 inch pump spigot it kept loosening after a few minutes.

I thought it would be a great and planet-saving system as the battery was charged by solar power.

These days I transfer water between tanks with a 12 volt pump which has the motor integral in the pump and recharge the 12 volt battery by solar.
