I agree no such thing as casted(cast), another one that gets me irregardless(regardless)

A friend of mine just told me that there is a working "WESLO" Motorized Tread Mill for $50 at a local Goodwill Store. D/C Motor, Choke Coil and controller should all be there.... He didn't know the model. Here is an e-bay WESLO 2.5 hp D/C...

My machinist friend, Gary, said he has a 3-phase motor and the converter. I didn't want to phart around with 3-phase, but now it seems like maybe a good option. I know zip about any motor above a simple A/C motor or 2 cycle model airplane...

I am convinced about the Treadmill motors. NOW comes the fun part - learning about Treadmill brands, models, etc and value. Craig's list shows all sorts of them, but from looking at the motors on e-bay, some motors are very bizarre in shape !...

Colt1960 - Lord God - A Riding Lawn Mower Transmission ! I would have never thought of THAT ! DoctorBill

OK Dutchman - now I actually have a "mission" when I go out garage Sailing (?) every weekend with my wife and kids. Has become a 'hobby' and even my son and his fiance look forward to it. AMAZING the things you come across ! Treasures being...

Flea Markets and garage Sales - my haunting grounds. I knew if I came on this Forum, that I would get good ideas ! Thanks fellas. Keep them coming.....I ain't done yet ! Every day that you wake up is a Good Day ! Today was a Good Day !

Those kind of Drill Motors aren't for long duty running....are they ? Not that I'd be running it long for Threading....Hmmmmm....interesting idea. Already 120 volt and some are variable speed, and reversible too ! Garage Sale Items - Sooper...

That's really nice, but what does a 2 HP Treadmill Motor Cost ? I know your answer...GO LOOK IT UP ! Any leads....? I think you's gots more moolah than I'se gots.... DoctorBill

Not being educatamalized much in Electric Motors....are there any other REALLY REALLY CHEAP Ubiquitous Brushed A/C Motors in other everyday machines besides Sewing Machines. Sewing machine motors are dog dirt cheap ! What else uses brushed A/C...

Dutchman - I wondered if that shaft turned easily, so I slipped off the Toothed Belt and turned the wheel with everything set up to run the spindle AND feed screw. It turned quite easily ! Just for cutting threads, it ought to turn....a 36 to 1...

35 Rem sounds fun, think Larry means convert to COO, it's already a COC system.

sniff this flower and I can hit you

and 45.00 a sleeve cci primers

buy, buy, buy good price nowadays! .20 is what I used to pay for linotype in the foundry ingots, those days are gone just like 3.00/ pound surplus powder

I will consider doing one of those ! Have enough on my plate at the moment ! It is GOOD to have a lot of projects to do - keeps one's mind working. THE worst thing is NOT have things to do....use it or lose it. I have a LOT of reloading...

5477 new powder?
