How did you find PF?
I was doing research into converting my old John Deere lawnmower to hydraulic drive using the original motor and transaxle.
or absent minded professor according to my wife. haha.

I'm one of those guys who doesn't take the traditional paths in life. I'm 38 years old. Graduated with my Bachelors in MET in 2019. Went to school on the GI bill after spending 6 years in the USAF as a general aerospace mechanic assigned to the E-3 Sentry.

I've always got a number of private engineering projects going. Currently I'm working on building a UTV out of an old John Deere 210 lawn tractor by converting it to hydraulic drive using the original motor and transaxle and replacing the variable size pulley (Called a variator) which has rusted solid.

I'm also an excel expert and enjoy building calculators on excel in my spare time. Currently working on a drive power calculator for the above project.
