The motor I got on e-bay was 1/4 horsepower...it's overkill as it will probably turn a side of beef! I don't know what others are using for their motors though. Maybe it's enough... if it is, I think you got a good deal for sure.

Guys? Any feedback on motor size for Doveguy's application?

The .311 in. shaft size.

.311 ~= 5/16"

The capacitor is no problem at all, my expience is that the gearbox go before the motor, I am think because the only bearing on the motor side is in the gear box, so thinking of working a bearing in to the deal on both ends, less stress for thr motor and the gearbox

I may have missed discussion; have you already substantially fab'd your unit?
