Pardon the messy patio table, it's been accruing crap for the last few brews.

Picked up this motorized flour mill at Goodwill for $25. 1/4 horse 1750 RPM AC motor, unsure of the reduction but it's enough to run the attached stone mill at a reasonable speed. I am considering springing for a Monster mill, but for now I wouldn't mind running my Corona-in-a-bucket with this thing.

What should I be looking for to hook this thing up to the much smaller shaft on the Corona?
 
The speed reduction can easily be calculated. It's simply the ratios of the two sheaves. Twice in this case. Better pics would help a lot. Maybe some close up shots without the motor runnng. Can't really see the mill very well at all in that pic.
