Electrified an old tiller

[Noncents]

Couldn't bring myself to spend $120 on a motor at HF, searched CL till I found a donor treadmill. Not nice to look at but it digs!

I r the dumb so had to use all the treadmill interface, Can be annoying as it will stop if there isn't enough load on it, takes a min to boot up when first starting, hitting the emergency stop requires a min to reboot, but does stop very suddenly, takes its time ramping up to full speed.

Motor specs: 2.5hp 1800w (1725 Rpms have not put a tach on it may run faster) 3 phase 220v,

15" touchscreen with rca inputs and 32pin iPod dock lol speed control toggle.

Runs off 110v hasn't tripped the 15a breaker to my shed. Bought the drive belt and the bolts holding the motor in place, all else was on hand.

Edit: Damn

That looks hilarious! If it works, it works.

Is there a power rating on the motor?
