Been collecting part for this conversion for a while now. And yesterday at the second hand store I found someone's homemade rock tumbler. This provided the remainder of the parts I needed. Now I'm working on getting a pulley attached to the main drive wheel because this in going to be the most difficult part. The jack shaft and motor mounts are pretty straightforward. ?RefreshOption=AutoRefresh&RefreshTimeOut=15000.jpg?RefreshOption=AutoRefresh&RefreshTimeOut=15000.jpg?RefreshOption=AutoRefresh&RefreshTimeOut=15000.jpg?RefreshOption=AutoRefresh&RefreshTimeOut=15000.jpg?RefreshOption=AutoRefresh&RefreshTimeOut=15000.jpg?RefreshOption=AutoRefresh&RefreshTimeOut=15000.jpg?RefreshOption=AutoRefresh&RefreshTimeOut=15000.jpg?RefreshOption=AutoRefresh&RefreshTimeOut=15000.jpg?RefreshOption=AutoRefresh&RefreshTimeOut=15000.jpg

don't have a clue all i can say it works. The first on i did was a 14" and it was always in the way in my basement shop, so i sold it and now i have a 3 wheel craftsman 10" with a dan foss controller. run on number 3 for metal and 10 for wood.
 
Now it's just a matter of adjusting things and maybe swap out the large pulley on the jack shaft to a much larger one.
