I added an electric motor to my Fiskars StaySharp Reel mower 

This is exactly what I want to do with mine! Well done

Getting ready to do this myself. Thanks for the video.

Very nice job. Subbed.

it sounds nasty! That is a way to find issues, so use a mechanics stethoscope to pinpoint exactly what bearings or bushings are sqealing like they are misaligned. Kinda sounds like all of them, to me, mixed with some chain noise. I think you seed a spring chain tensioner & a little chain slop to allow slight motor misalignment, and to clean the reel bearings (or fit bearigs if they are bushings), and you might want to add a small flywheel to dampen motor for cutting stresses. Good luck, I'm about to attempt something similar.

Great video! Would love to see it cutting grass in the wild. Who made you the mounting plate?

Would be interested in buying the motor bracket or a template

Do you have a parts list and source for the parts?

Any more updates on this? Thanks

This is great! I am actually in the process of doing my initial conversion to my Fiskars, however, I’m having a heck of a time getting the rear/large sprocket off. I had zero issues with the small sprocket on the reel, but the large just won’t loosen. Any suggestions? My mower is in great shape, and I’ve seen other posts saying the large sprocket is much tougher to remove than the smaller one, but nothing has worked for me yet. Any advice is much appreciated!

Great job, looking forward to seeing it cutting. This may be a dumb question but could you use the mower without the motor drive turned on, even with the chain attached? Or would that be bad turning the motor when its not activated.

Did you have trouble with the rear sprocket set screw? Front came off no issue, the rear on the other hand won’t budge. I’ve sprayed PB Blaster, tried a number of different combinations of hex wrenches, torque wrenches, etc….no luck.

How thick is the mounting plate ?

Nice, what height can you get it down too? Also need to share / sell the plan for the plate so we can order one!

I did almost the same thing with my mower but I am noticing the blade stops or slows with thick grass. I am using the same motor as you so there is plenty of power. Is there a clutch or something that needs to be removed to make the blade not go into a free spin?

Did you have a template for the mounting plate, or a list of parts you used?

Link for motor??

Hey nice st up any vids for an update? Its been for years. Im about to do the same but im. Jot sure how it actually works. Thanks.

I’ve watched a few of these videos, do you think this would be possible to do with an an electric Ryobi weed eater, I take a used Ryobi weed eater strip the externals and essentially it’s a battery with a speed regulator and motor. From there, figure a way to mount and attach the motor into the chain?

Does your motor run warmn to hot after mowing ? And how much for your bracket only ?

Link for the motor?

Why not direct drive?
