I will also say this, the company listed there on eBay has a store and they sold me the pulleys and shipped it all for the cost of shipping the motor alone. After I contacted them and proposed such a deal. I had tried previously to get them down on the price of the motor and they wouldn’t go for that but by combining shipping on the motor and two three step pulleys it saved me about $20.00 on shipping!
Rob at Beaumont Metal Works, Inc., home of the KMG, made a comment when I posted this motor a few months ago that they were excellent motors. Needless to say I have one sitting in my shed ready to go on my grinder when I finish it!
