Grain Mill Question

Mashing
1

For those of you who have chosen to motorize your mill, instead of using a drill or hand cranking, what type motor did you use? And where to buy?

I used an old furnace blower motor with a couple pullys and a v-belt to get me to the correct speed. IIRC, the motor is 0.375 HP

I bought an old washing machine motor on craigslist for $10 and adjusted the speed down with pulleys.

Old washing machine motor from the scrap yard…$2.50.
