It doesn't get much better than this. I plan on using one when I get my system up and running again.
Not unless you're looking to make a smoothie out of your mash...Would motors from a blender be any good?
A blender motor would be worthless, but perhaps you're thinking of a stand mixer? I actually looked for a broken Kitchenaid stand mixer on eBay and some online appliance parts stores. I think the top portion of one of those would be awesome!Would motors from a blender be any good?
This one has the opposite problem as a blender motor - it's way too slow, though the torque is probably more than adequate. I want something in the 20-50 RPM range. The wiper motor has two speeds, roughly 30 RPM and 50 RPM. The slower speed seems just about ideal, and several foot pounds of torque should be plenty.sigmund said:What about a motor for a rotisserie (however you spell it)? What kind of speed are you looking for in that application?

Actually, ice cream machine motors were my other avenue of approach. I couldn't find any less than about $30.
Don't count on it. I've rarely had a positive experience at a junkyard. Most are rip-off artists. I have a passionate distaste for junkyards based on quite a bit of experience across several states and regions.I'd check a local Auto Salvage yard before i'd buy a wiper motor off the net. I have to think they'd be cheaper there.
