You should go on Amazon and look at electric grinders.

I just bought a pretty nice one for $48 shipped. If it makes it for one day, grinding 4 gallons of beaver and 1 gallon of mice, it will have paid for itself. If it doesn't burn up, and lasts into the next season, it'll be money well spent.

Al ive got 80$ in mine brand new #32 hand grinder just omit the handle and replace with a 10-12 " pulley wheel. Old fan motor out of a dead furnace. F.y.i look for the old belt driven fan motors easier to convert and already has the rite size wheel on the motor. A .3/4 HP is your best option. A 1/2 hp will work in a pinch but it cycles on the thermal overload alot! Most of your old lennox pulse furnaces 90,000 btu and above had 3/4 hp belt drive fan motors

AL I hope that works for you. my experience with those 40 dollars grinders has not been good. Haven't bought one though in several decades so maybe they have improved to the point they work now.

lol no the grinder it self was 70$ I got the pulley at a discount return that was scuffed up manager asked if id give 5 $ so tax an all it was $80 I cant remember the name of the grinder but ive saw them from over 100$ to as low as 65$ the grinder I use is exactly like yours danny

Danny, I'm not saying it'll work...lol, but I want to give it a try. For that kind of money, I'll consider it disposable. Just the cheapskate in me coming out.

I'll bone out all the beaver, and grind the mice half frozen, to hopefully make things go easier.

If it makes it thru this grind, and doesn't crap out, I'll send it down to TONY to use for light duty grinding up liver.

you do that I will save you back a motor for your new grinder! at one time I had around 30-40 used motors. but I let my son scrap them awhile back! DUMB!
