Tim Thanks for the answer, If there has been no wiring diagram for the Legacy, that is all I needed to know. I was a little surprised that no one asked what power voltage I was thinking of using, could have been 12 or 24 volt dc as i;e Windscreen wiper motors,.I don't think that would kill me !

Well I knew my generic answer was not going to be enough.  I'm not aware of a wiring diagram for the legacy drive system.  It was all pre-wired and the manuals only showed where to and how to mount the components to the machine. Since you are familiar with electronic, I'm not sure where you

I considered doing one for the legacy, but I decided it was not worth doing since the speed control legacy used is no longer available and difficult to find. Plus the stock system makes it very difficult for wires to just get disconnected that there is very little chances of making a mistake

​Hi Guys Given Tim's information any competent electrician should be able to investigate the wiring and draw a circuit diagram or schematic.  Otherwise leave the electrics alone, electricity can curl your hair if you get a shock, it can burn and even kill you. Treat with respect, probably more

Where are you stuck?  What kind of motor are you using?  In general terms a speed control includes a transformer to drop your house voltage to run the motor.  Legacy then used a limit switch to break the connection to the motor.  They added an override switch to close the limit switch
