I’m thinking about converting an old delivery truck from the late 40s they don’t make parts for anymore. The problem is the vehicle is HEAVY by modern standards (could barely move it with the skid steer) I’m starting my parts list from the ground up and want to use hub motors. Any suggestions for hub motors that are potentially up to the task would be appreciated.
Early models yes. Not so much the later ones. They are fairly easy to change as well if you have a reasonable tool kit.
Put it this way, it won’t be the hardest part of your conversion.
