DennisG Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 So to set up a belt line I want to use a little 4 banger motor to drive the belt. I was wondering if this one would be best suited to my shop. I would only be running a drill, grinder, possibly blower, and maybe a home made power hammer.

clinton Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 That is pretty cool, I wonder what the horse power is. I know I have seen huge motors that weigh a couple of tons and are like 5 horse power, lots of torque but low on the hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fe-Wood Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I think that should do what you need. The fuel cost might be a bit high... Each puff of smoke is probubly about $.50 worth of diesel.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r smith Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 is there such a thing as too much power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 is there such a thing as too much power? Only under specific circumstances, so generally speaking, NO! Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy lee Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 here's my line shaft. I plan to expand it to run my drill press and lathe. One step at a time I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisG Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 LOL OK, the post was a joke based around that monster engine I found a vid of. It is actually the engine from a locomotive. Just imagine what your neighbors would say when it was delivered, and then started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
