Head Speed

Naturally,  the 10yr old mfr label on my 2 gear motors are rotton off.  I called Kasco to find out what make and mod the motor is.  Steve said they get it from Stature Ele.  Stature does a mod on them,  but Steve did'nt know what the mod is (I know,  but if someone dosent want to tell me, I don't pressure them).  
Kasco price $456
I'm not a betting man, but I remember seeing the label over the years, and I'm sure it is a Dayton.
Dayton  Grainger stock no. 11480 to 1175 each has rpm .
Grainger price oops 1995 price $91.  The only prob is, the item description dosent say anything about an internal cluch. The ability of the mills feed sys to be stoped by hand and not dammage motor or elecs is important.  I would call Dayton and ask a tech about this.  Also I would design toward DC gearmotor (generally overall less amps than a large motor)  Less amps mean rehostat instead of DC controller. Controllers cost a bit ,  the rehostat is $30 or less and I feel is a simpler more durable concept.
I use a Motor Reversing Switch $30ish for reversing the feed (reverse the wires on these DC perm mag motors and they run reverse)
If you want mo info, E-me with youre phone #, or E-me and I'll E-you my #
