New motor!!!

[Joe Calton]

Just scored a dayton 2 hp single phase 115/230 motor for an old hot water heater and $20 at the local salvage yard! Hooked it up to 110 and runs like a champ. New grinder build when i get caught up on orders!

Awesome find! Congratulations.

There are deals to be found on motors, patience and luck pays off in this area.

Thanks! Now im going to have to keep my eye out for spares as cheap as they are there.

Now i have to decide whether to build another 2 wheel grinder like my other 2, or to give a 3 or 4 wheel machine a try.

Nice score! Building and working on grinders is good stuff....but it takes away too much knife making time!
