I hear you JJ and DO value the input and support of friends....now about this sawmill idea of yours...tell me just how big a blade we can run and how to achieve right speed...

since you could easily make a stump grinder, maybe i supply the motors and you could make two.....

Send 'em to me. I'll find somethin' to do with 'em.

But seriously, folks - stump grinder, trencher, auger, broom, power rake... low to medium speed, good torque. It mostly depends on what other parts you can scrounge.

Are those wheel motors 1500 psi, two is series, or 3000 psi each.

The White RS wheel motors used on the 400-series machines are 1500 PSI .

FYI -- these people carry V-belt pulleys with tapered shafts that SHOULD fit the wheel motors. I have not ordered one to try it -- this is as far as I've gotten.

Personally, I'd like to make a pot-hole digger out of one, but since I'm not a welder that changes the whole cost-effectiveness equation dramatically if I have to pay someone to create my Rube Goldbergs...

Time for you to buy a used Lincoln stick welder. Check out Craigs List. I got mine for $100 (AC and DC). Have a metal shop cut up your template and off you go....

On of the PT guys made this auger setup.

Turns out our 2445 wheel motors will drive dualies just fine...so those extra motors aren't....

WOW, well that saved you some coin.

you bet...Terry also claims brakes can be adjusted to negate need for tender...

i'm focusing in on wheels, tires, 72" rough cut mower behind and telescoping boom mower
