Motorizing my Barley Crusher

Pics????

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".

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!!!!

It shows that they have 74 in stock. I think this is the same motor. I copied this setup almost exactly. It works like a charm.

Bastards....I checked that site for like a week, and never had anything...even looked like it was not even sold there anymore. Anyhow, ordered and received, now time to fabricate a bracket for mounting, and get this puppy wired up and ready to roll.....got 3 brew days upcoming!!!

Sweet setup! Nice and simple is a win in my book!
Good job!
