*Edit 3/31/12* It appeared to work with my small volume of test grains, however when I went to run a full batch of grains this morning it choked badly. It just did not have enough power for direct drive.*end edit*
I have this motor I would like to adapt to the JSP maltmill I just ordered.
I removed the motor and the speed control from the treadmill, I will have the ability to vary the motor speed through a wide range. The motor is a DC 1HP motor and if it could pull the treadmill with my fat ass on it, I think it should work ok for a mill.
Problem is, the motor has a heavy cast iron flywheel that is screwed onto the shaft. It doesn't look easily removable(at least with the tools I have available) and not sure how the motor would work if I did find a way to remove it. The diameter of the pully on the end of the flywheel is 1.099". Looking for a way to adapt this down to whatever the shaft diameter of the Maltmill is(don't have this yet).
