So we just had a new gas furnace installed in our house to replace our dead oil furnace. The install was today and when I came home from work, the installer had all of the parts of the disassembled oil furnace stacked on the lawn by his truck. The first thing that caught my eye was the blower assembly. The drive motor for this bad boy was an old GE 1725rpm 1/4hp motor with a 3in drive pulley and a 8 inch driven pulley. From my math, the pulleys are both throw aways since they will yield too high of a final rpm to drive a grain mill. 646 rpm if my math is correct so I'll need a smaller drive pulley and larger driven pulley to get it lower.
Anybody have a good source for pulleys so I can match the shaft diameters and pulley diameters I will need to get to a lower rpm?
Cheers,
Duke
