Motor wiring

[milehimark]

I want to use this dryer motor to run my grain mill. It's an ac motor .3 hp 115v 60~ 5.4amp. Can you tell based on the current wiring configuration how I can get this to run off a regular 120 v wall outlet.

My design for the motorized mill is as follows: http://byo.com/stories/item/1166-motorize-your-grain-mill-projects.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It would help if you could state what dryer it came off of. Also is this a 2 speed motor? Is there a capacitor/capacitors already on the motor? I can tell you how I would wire it up, but without ohming and identifying the windings of the motor, I cant tell you where to put the capacitor or where to put the line voltage.

Do you have a speed reduction system for the motor?

You will need either a gear reduction or belt/pulley speed reduction system since the motor itself rotates at too high an RPM.
