After a long delay being busy with office work and some things around the home I finally got back to the lawn mover.

The controllers I had procured had some issues. For example some of the controllers would not like my pwm signal controls for some reason. I bought the controller chips on the board and after replacing them the PWM feature seemed to work. I am contemplating if I should in fact use the PWM signal or just drive it using the analog pin.
