Motorizing my Barley Crusher

[dunleav1]

They got back and gave me a suggestion that corrected the problem.
They recommended to give the mill housing some taps with a mallet to move it back to square.
I had to really give the plate some encouragement but this ended up working for me.

I may be looking into building new side plates because the ones with the mill are rather thin. I think this
is the design issue that could be corrected with a thicker or more rigid side plate.

Send Boog a PM. He has responded to this kinda post all the time with a decently priced gear motor.

Who is Boog?

Just got done motorizing my mill. I used the motor that Bug had recommended and it works like a charm. Now before you start let me say "Shove it up your ass" I will gets pics up shortly.

I'm getting ready to build a box/stand to mount my BC to, and motorize it.....what is the distance across, from the back end of the motor to the other side of the BC?? Right now, I'm thinking 30" should be plenty wide enough??

The cart I mounted mine on is 26" X 16".

A converted 450ci Cadillac engine with a blower and nitrous is enough to do the job

OK, so it appears that the original motor mentioned in the thread, 5-1074 is no longer available.....any suggestions on which one replaced it??? Gonna send them a msg. as well, but thought someone on here might already have that info.

Thanks my brewin' brothas!!!!
