Hey Rancid Crabtree, the grinder mods look great. Can we get some pictures of the back and base showing your motor/pulley arraingement?

I have a #32 manual grinder with a pulley, was trying to decide between a pulley array or slow speed motor with Flexible Lovejoy connector. Have not yet settled on a motor. Wanting to get my grinder setup before this years deer season. I got my Smoker almost setup, couple of more mods to it. Wanting to play with my smoker and dehyrdator to get good before the meat season starts.:lol:
Thanks
Cashew

The one thing you'll have trouble with using the love joy is that you'll have to have the auger shaft where the handle screws in turned on a lathe. Its a tapered fit and the love joy doesn't offer a spider like it. I ended up turning mine down to 7/8" I believe. While the guy had it I also had him make a decent stud from some HS alloy steel rather than the POS cast that came with it.
