Dude, there’s a flat-rate box from the post office called “Regional Rate
Box C”, the size is 12 x 12 x 15 and I believe to ship it’s 17 dollars. You
may not see it out displayed with the others, but you can ask for them or
order it at usps.com
Hope this helps!

you can place links in these videos so why don’t you put a link to your
auctions page, or at least give us your ebay user name so we can find your
stuff for sale. You are a master marketer haha… seriously, don’t mean to
give you to hard a time, I appreciate the video. I am more interested in
one of these motors to use on my drill press, just bought one, a 3 hp
continuous duty larger model on ebay. Going to use a KB Electronics
controller.
Iv got myself a motor which I shall be doing some testing with to be used
as a generator on a micro hydro set up, I didn’t remove it , can anyone
tell me why it’s come with four wires? Also the kind of set up I’ll be
going for is battery’s located approx 8 meters away and then use an
invertor. It will be to give electric to an off grid bungalow that has
however got electrics throughout but not on the grid if that helps with
your suggestions, Thanx in advance
I want to build a generator out of these motors. I know this is old so I
cant buy any of your your great used motors on ebay, but I have questions.
You pose so many in your great video! When looking for a motor what do we
look for? So do we need high amps? Do we need high volts? Do we need the
big motor with the small flywheel or the small motor with no flywheel I
dont understand?
i bought a treadmill motor from ebay but its hard to turn by hand without
the flywheel do to the amount of torque required is this friction or is it
normally hard to spin motors by the shaft
Hey there Banshee, Nice Video. I have a question as to the Specs on the Big
Commerical motor. Would it be okay to get the Mfr Name and Model of that
unit? Thanks, Mastiffman

Do any of the motors have a 1/2″ shaft? I would like to put a variable
speed motor on my floor model band saw to slow it down to cut metal.
