Of course, my dear, I am not advocating spending $ when free is available.
What I am suggesting is that you investigate first what tools, what parts
you will need, make SURE the parts still can be had, and not waste too much
time. Of course you can shnor a free motor from some one-- as I do not know
what kind of motor you are dealing with, cannot suggest. Right now I am
eying the motor off a treadmill that no longer "treads"correctly and the
manufacturer is out of business.
Please Taylor. We have made you a junkyard dawg, and we are proud. Yours
affectionately, The Dumpster Diver.
