Motorizing Your Grain Mill Country Living Grain Mills
This motor is rated at 1,800 rpm (Revolutions per Minute), which would turn the Country Living Mill far faster than we recommend- in fact, it just might send your grain mill into orbit. Robert solved this problem by gearing the speed down with an intermediate 6″ pulley linked with a 1 3 4″ pulley that ties to the 12″ flywheel of the grain.
