Re: (ET) Electric Chipper/Shredder?

["RJ Kanary" <rjkanary nauticom net>]

         Jack Casey, a list member, has been looking for an E-20 traction 
motor to purchase.  I haven't been out scavenging yet this year, so I 
haven't come up with one yet. Contact him off list,  and see if you can make 
a deal. Then modify you plans a little, and use an E- 15 motor . <G>
      BTW, you might do well to fabricate a 'starter' of sorts for whatever 
motor you use. Dumping the low impedance load such as that armature across 
the battery pack will result in some dramatic activity.
