Did you get your treadmill?
Right after I read your post, I went out and found one too. $40, but not quite so good a motor as what you show (mine is 1.5 HP). I plan to use mine to run my band saw. Right now, it's set up for wood, and I want to be able to cut metals & plastics, which require slower speeds.
I did a 'biopsy' on the treadmill, finding what wires were actually needed for the motor and speed controller, and what wires were not. I isolated and removed the speed controller unit yesterday, today I pulled the motor and relevant hardware.
I didn't even take the treadmill out of the pickup, did all the surgery right in the bed of the pickup truck. Makes it easier to haul the remaining carcass off to scrap metal recycling.
BTW, did you get my message about the extra compressor(s)?
You asked, and I responded, but I never heard back from you.
