So I have a Shmidling Malt Mill (sp?) I originally bought an electric motor on Ebay unknown horsepower but I assume pretty low like 1/4 horsepower and made a belt and pulley system. Well the motor could not turn the mill with grain in it. So I got a 1/2" drill as a temporary fix. Welllllll I have already burned thru 2 drills and I am on my 3rd. Unlike other mills the Shmidling rollers are like 10" long or whatever they are which I realize now takes a lot of power to turn when loaded with grain. So before I burn thru my 3rd drill I need to get an electric motor to run this mill. There are a few electric motor repair places in town and they also sell used motors but I don't know what size I should get????? So what HP motor should I get???
