  3. Dude, there’s a flat-rate box from the post office called “Regional Rate
    Box C”, the size is 12 x 12 x 15 and I believe to ship it’s 17 dollars. You
    may not see it out displayed with the others, but you can ask for them or
    order it at usps.com

    Hope this helps!

  4. you can place links in these videos so why don’t you put a link to your
    auctions page, or at least give us your ebay user name so we can find your
    stuff for sale. You are a master marketer haha… seriously, don’t mean to
    give you to hard a time, I appreciate the video. I am more interested in
    one of these motors to use on my drill press, just bought one, a 3 hp
    continuous duty larger model on ebay. Going to use a KB Electronics
    controller.

  12. I want to build a generator out of these motors. I know this is old so I
    cant buy any of your your great used motors on ebay, but I have questions.
    You pose so many in your great video! When looking for a motor what do we
    look for? So do we need high amps? Do we need high volts? Do we need the
    big motor with the small flywheel or the small motor with no flywheel I
    dont understand?

  16. Do any of the motors have a 1/2″ shaft? I would like to put a variable
    speed motor on my floor model band saw to slow it down to cut metal.
