Got a big motor ( i think 5 hp) on a sheller I bought, sheller motor has a tad bit bigger shaft than the lathe motor. Dont know if I could turn down the shaft or not. Run motor and hold grinder to it,----- done that before and got buy with it!
Then I could use the funky original chain drive sprocket on it. Cant ream the sprocket cause there is not enough meat there to be removing any!
