And the aluminum pulleys showed up in the mailbox today, so all I have to is redo the 4 wire motor run to a 3 wire, and change out the motor & driver. And possibly the psu, I think it over 50 volts now and thats the drivers input limit. I'll have to measure it, but I have a 48 volt 7.5 amp switcher ready, already turned down to 43 volts. Took the Mrs to the shop to get her healed up, and I'll need to get a hospital type bed before she comes home again, if she does... COPD.
