I'm an old bastard and I've always liked EV's, the motor and battery technology is rapidly evolving. Not sure why some (old people) are so negative and comparing them with ICE engines, they both have they're place. I'm too old & poor to ever own one, but I'm all for them. High from Orygun!!
Thanks for the support. Yes, batteries are expensive. Our next project helps overcome their significant cost by sourcing them from a wrecked EV. Totally agree they have certain use cases where they work very well.
i am one of the young bastards i dont mind EV stuff tools and runabout's are where they work great. the problem is the govement think everything should be an EV now. we have a JD9400 that thing can put down 300kW for 10 hours straight thats roughly an 18 tonne battery worth about $880,000. also we dont have the power available to charge it at least we have power currently working at a factory getting some experience in other field before i take over the farm theres no grid connection at all not even water and its only 15 km from town the site has to truck its water in and power is provided by 3 massive generators roaring all day long.
@@phalanx3803 I work on a Mine and for kicks and giggles to keep the hippys happy we did a work out of what it would cost to power the operation totally on electric power.....just the batterys to make all the heavy machinery electric with swap-out batterys to allow for 24/7 operation was something like 27 times the yearly gross income of the whole mine in that past year and that was at a time when prices were high....thats without the cost of converting current equipment to electric as there is no production equipment thats battery electric.....plus when asked asked about power supply the electric grid replied with a very pointed 'fuck off and stop smoking what ever it is your on'....
Mahalo for this summary! All of you folks just rocked this conversion. No faffing, no messing about, no existential angst. “Just”…two months of hard thinking and a hard slog and…YOU DID IT! The ideal farm vehicle you made yourselves! No corporation or government people ordering you about and watching every move you make. You saw a problem, and you solved it. Mahalo for capturing this process for us. I hope it leads to more people following in your footsteps! Take care and aloha!

That was great! Huge congrats on the successful EV project and to all the members of the organic co-op! I wish more people understood the importance of what they’re doing and how much freaking work it is! I have the worlds best farm truck. It’s a 1990 Nissan Vanette with dump bed and I dream of converting it to electric which, I believe, would make it even better in every way.
Thanks mate, really appreciate your support. I learnt a lot on this project. Can only imagine how much I will learning on the upcoming woodgas project.
great work on just getting something going to get to work! folks often fall into the chasing perfection hole with ev conversions and they never see the light of day.
I’ve really seen this too. Lots of resources tied up for years and no complete outcome. I’m currently getting my ducks in a line for the next project so it can move quickly once I start. The local EV conversion group has been a great support to get me through. Trying to return that favour a bit for others on the group now.
It’s cool hey. All about hearing. 100:1 gear reduction in 1st. Means wheel torque is 100x motor torque less driveline losses. Motor products about 90Nm. Thus 9000 Nm in 1st up until the battery currently limit kicks in which is quickly because of 160a limit we imposed. Then torque tails off as rpm increases until decreasing torque equals drive torque. Practical, little tractor. Certainly can’t go anywhere fast.
This was absolutely awesome. I love that you were able to size the motor and the battery for the exact job that the truck does. Props to you for your skills and work ethic, I love it!
So very impressed Oliver with the complexity and perfection of your metal machining skills. Awesome end result and love the portable milking business too! Well done both of you!
Ingenious, persistent and very impressive head and hand skills, working it all out and then putting into action! Skills sadly not seen that much everyday in young people, but you’ve restored my faith in what’s possible with a great attitude, thanks so much for sharing! Happy milking
Haha, it was a running joke in the full series. I was trying to avoid a restoration. Lol. Repair was what I was going for but yeah, it ended up a bit of a resto didn’t it.
Yeah, 48v is a good standard in that way. It’s just capable of this task. 400v dc is serious stuff. 48 is what the automotive industry should standardise around in a way. 12v requires big cables and isn’t appreciably safer. But that’s another story. The Ute has been going well over the year and a half since built.
Thanks Brett 🙏 Glad you enjoyed the series. The scope of the upcoming woodgas project is so much bigger. I’ll be doing it step by step. Not certain yet but likely electrification of the truck first.
Brilliant..!! Reminds me of the first vehicle I ever drove. My uncle was a milkman - he let me drive his milk float when I helped him on his round at about 12yo.
Haha cool :-) Yeah these trucks were used as milk trucks. Episode 3 of the full series shows Mr C J Parker’s milk truck (1969 Toyota Stout). Thanks for sharing your memory.
Completamente impresionado con ese trabajo , felicitaciones por tu esfuerzo en demostrar que si es posible un proyecto como ese 🎉 saludes desde Centro America
This makes me happy. I grew up with my dads Toyota Stout. Amazing work truck that outperforms expectations. Makes the helix seem blah by comparison:). The budget conversion js on point. Just enough engineering to be viable
Thanks so much for your awesome tracks! Also, I must ask if you have any suggestions what I do about Google thinking the music is not yours. I’m going to follow it up with them but the “content ID” system claims the music is someone else’s. They don’t seem to have a way to dispute this. I can dispute the claim but it gets sent to the supposed owner of the music. And they don’t offer customer service it appears for small RUclips accounts. I’ll keep investigating. And thanks again for making your music available.
The truck is a 1974 Toyota Dyna. It’s got the same motor as the Stout. Doesn’t go anywhere fast but with patience it does the job. But it will be the star of the next project.
Nice old ute and conversion, I'll be keen to see your next project! Being a tech bloke have you seen the LoRaWAN cattle collars? Could be a nice addition to the milking station.
Good question. Sorry I didn’t manage to document the addition of a temperature controller fan in a cowling that comes on(currently) at 42c motor shell temp. I repurposed a Stout heater core fan. It’s triggered by the Venus GX. Seems to manage pulling the big trailer up pretty steep hills on a 40C day. But I am thinking of dropping motor amps back down a bit from 800.
On the motor side, the controller is reliving 800A. But it’s limited to “20% battery current”. Practically what this means is that the motor amps are constant at 800A (and thus constant torque) as rpm rises until battery current of 200A is reached. From this point the motor amps decline (and so does torque) As rpm increases and battery amps are constant until the decreasing torque and increasing rpm reach a steady state. Practically this means that the vehicle had great off the line performance but doesn’t tend to push the motor at 800A for long. Unless the user leaves the vehicle in a high gear and struggles up a hill at low rpm. That is a risk. I’ve trained the dairy staff to keep the motor running at higher rpm. Thus keeping motor amps down from peak. As for panels on the roof of the dairy truck, we did consider this. I liked the idea but it’s actually better I think to have the panels on the roof of the main shed and keep the dairy truck without panels. The reasons that Pushed me in this direction are: A - the truck gets used primarily in the early morning and is often partial shaded from what little sun might hit it. Orientation to the sun is seldom good. B - the roof gets knocked by branches and the like that could damage panels C - the cost per watt installed in the large grid connect system on the roof of the dairy is really good. D - And we use the roof of the slip-on as a mobile work platform a LOT! It’s an unexpected utility of the vehicle that’s actually super valuable. We’ve used it for building sheds and structures on the farm a lot. So our solar is all in one on the big shed roof.
I’ll do an update after a year and then 5 years. So far we had a new automotive relay fail and the brake master is leaking. I used a reconditioned master I had on hand. Other than that it’s been running well now for about 6 months. There was a slight repetitive noise coming from what I think is the jack shaft we build that carried the chain gear reduction large gear despite our efforts to get alignment just right. If anything is going to fail I think that is a likely part. Definitely think I will be shy of Toyota reliability. But it’s bloody amazing not feathering a clutch and having tons of torque.
Impressive Oliver. I'm a bit biased as you know & nothing beats healthy 5R........that however is a completely different story. One question, vacuum for the brakes......assuming it is headed for the street?
I love the ol 5R engine. A rock solid engine. I’ve got a few still doing active duty for me. Two in registered Stouts and Dynas. No point saying you’ll change the motor once it dies haha. You’ll die first. The farm Ute turned out the brakes worked sufficiently without a vac booster but for the street you need an electric vac pump to create the vac for the booster. You are onto it 👍
Hey Jack, there is a DC-DC converter from the HV (48v) to 12. So that acts as the 12v power source for headlights etc. I’ve changed the key wiring to be a dedicated “enable” signal for the DC-DC. Checkout the full conversion series for details :-)
How cool, friends of ours in the early seventies used these utes as milk trucks, they didn't service them and when they were worn they bought new ones, they were successful and wanted the tax write off.
Thanks Bay. Are you concerned that it will overheat? Note the full aluminum base of the motor controller is connected to an even bigger aluminum heat sink of the inverter box (repurposed sma sunny boy) with thermal compound on the interface. I did consider putting a fan on the sma heatsink but it never even gets warm to touch. The motor on the other hand most definitely does get hot.
@@fryersforestrd4140 Possibly. I don't know the ratings but it would produce considerable heat at high loads. The cooler the better in any case. Ideally it should and easily could have clean airflow around it.
Yes, I live in Australia. The number plate was from a previous owner. Here civilians can have black plates. I’ve never had it registered personally. Hopefully one day the previous owner sees it. Where are you from?
camioneta toyota stout 2000.lo mejor este señor si es un mecánico completo yo pensaba que éramos muy poco ami me gusta luchar con estos coches viejo la mecánica ha sido mi vida estudie mecánica con lanational schools society en mi país españa
That’s the vacuum pump that runs off the victron inverter. The vacuum pump has on it a pulsator that provides a pulsating vacuum to the milking cups and a continuous vacuum. The milking cups use the pulsating vacuum to squeeze the milk out and then the constant vacuum to pull it through to the milking bucket.
For most dairy farmers, there is no way you could make a living from 10 milking cows milked with a single set of cups off a single vacuum pump. So I understand where coming from. But it is NOT a hobby operation and there are some things that are very different in this business. It sells direct to customers in the local town through a community supported agriculture model. I understand that the model is very different from the huge scale that dairies have had to get to for financial viability under pressure of falling milk prices.
The early Stouts seem to have very good paint and metal. Multiple coats that are very robust. It seems by the late 70’s they had moved to a single coat primer/ top coat. They seem to last remarkably well. There are of course weaknesses and the bulkhead below the windscreen seems prone to rust. But this is a design flaw. My fathers 1972 Stout already had rust on this spot in 1982 when he did a massive 400 hour overhaul on it. I think the last 60’s was the height of Toyota build quality.
Back in the early 1970's our neighbor bought one, it was red and it was a 1967, Such a shame you guys ruined this one. Would have been nice if it could have been restored back to original as there are so few of these left.
Now, when you say ruined, let me remind you we saved it from rusting which is what kills stouts. I have a grave yard of 7 stouts rusting away and this is a practical use, not a hobby. There aren’t enough people to fix all the old rusting stouts. See episode three of the full series about mr C J Parker’s milk truck. Sellar dairy paid us for a practical farm ute conversion. But it sounds like you should restore one to “save it”.
Not quite sure what your question is. The weight of the Stout is around 1270kg without a tray. Tray weights vary depending on construction. Bert weights about 1900kg with the slip-op mounted.
Like not only do I have to see the soulless abominations that are modern EVs, but now people are also taking some of the last good looking vehicles and butchering them too
You are welcome to checkout the in depth series we’ve posted on the conversion too. That might answer some questions. Feel free to ask anything failing that :-)

the welding jobs was as stunning to me. Now how does it handle the heat since I see you didn’t put any type of cooling system.?
Good question. Sorry I didn’t manage to document the addition of a temperature controller fan in a cowling that comes on(currently) at 42c motor shell temp. I repurposed a Stout heater core fan.

I understand that the model is very different from the huge scale that dairies have had to get to for financial viability under pressure of falling milk prices.
No emissions seems smart for an organic operation..
Only if you ignore all the emissions and 3rd world slave labor that goes into this stuff
i'm surprised the toyota metal has lasted that long....
The early Stouts seem to have very good paint and metal. Multiple coats that are very robust. It seems by the late 70’s they had moved to a single coat primer/ top coat. They seem to last remarkably well. There are of course weaknesses and the bulkhead below the windscreen seems prone to rust. But this is a design flaw. My fathers 1972 Stout already had rust on this spot in 1982 when he did a massive 400 hour overhaul on it.
I think the last 60’s was the height of Toyota build quality.
It's no longer a Toyota it's now a... ToVolta
Back in the early 1970's our neighbor bought one, it was red and it was a 1967, Such a shame you guys ruined this one. Would have been nice if it could have been restored back to original as there are so few of these left.
Now, when you say ruined, let me remind you we saved it from rusting which is what kills stouts. I have a grave yard of 7 stouts rusting away and this is a practical use, not a hobby. There aren’t enough people to fix all the old rusting stouts. See episode three of the full series about mr C J Parker’s milk truck. Sellar dairy paid us for a practical farm ute conversion. But it sounds like you should restore one to “save it”.
To much weight of the car bodies
Not quite sure what your question is. The weight of the Stout is around 1270kg without a tray. Tray weights vary depending on construction. Bert weights about 1900kg with the slip-op mounted.
Good thing he removed that big lump of cast iron up front, then. 😅
Like not only do I have to see the soulless abominations that are modern EVs, but now people are also taking some of the last good looking vehicles and butchering them too
What’s your preference? What would you do?
Genial trabajo, pero necesitas energía infinita en vez de baterías
En una granja, no gatarias en energía con la energía infinita
🥲🥲wonderful I have a lot of questions to ask you
You are welcome to checkout the in depth series we’ve posted on the conversion too. That might answer some questions. Feel free to ask anything failing that :-)
