Hey guys we have this Old mill and just wondering if anyone has ever used anything like this? is it worth the hassle of trying to motorize this thing?

Nope, send it to me and i'll dispose of it:)
I dont see why it wouldnt work, maybe hook up a little half horsy to it. Maybe try running a few trash grains through it first to see if it grinds okay and see if the adjustments work. If they do I see no problem in hooking it up and using it to its full potential. Or you can send it to me!

ps, what kind of bike you got sittin in there?

That mill is quite similar to one our club used a couple months ago. The thing worked great for us. Check out how we motorized ours.

Cool I think we have a 220 motor that runs at 3400 Rpm I'm sure we can gear it down to something respectable. I've got a couple of pounds of grains lying around and it does have an adjustment on it so we'll see what we get.

PS the bike is a 05 Suzuki Bandit.
