I am said friend!
I used cheap winch motor (ramsey that would spin 7k RPM) and the york

Got the coupler from MMC to run it direct drive, bolted it all together and it ran like a sowing machine! Except that the jumper cables I was using to power it were glowing red hot...... I can't remember how many amps it drew, but it was a metric

Also, I lost ALL of my drawings for the damn thing when I sold my old laptop. Dumbass here didn't remember to save to the new comp!
