: Jeff,
: I have a lead now on an old forced air furnace that I can have the
: motor if I want. Not sure what hp that would be but I would like
: to look at it, besides it's 200 miles away.
: Thanks!

I'd guess 1/4 to 1/2 HP, preferably capacitor start. These are generally 1750 RPM, but as said before, it's a pully thing to get your end speed. I'd avoid fan motors. These are generally shaded pole start jobs, meant for low start inertia loads. (I'm an electrician)

Are you a Canuck? I've got an old motor I salvaged from a drill press you can have. 1/2 HP I think.
