I think I just burned my motor up on my home made flesher. I was doing a pheasant with a 1/4 hp 1200 rpm the i got used from a local electrical store. It was running for about 20 mins ansd then it just stopped. It was very hot to touch and after 1/2 hr it would turn back on, but I think I need to replace it. On the search button most of you talk about Graingers 1/10 to 1/15 HP 1200-1550 RPM motors. Would anyone be willing to give the part number for there motor. There are to many motors to choose from. I would like to spend under $100.00 and I dont want to wire anything, instead I just want to be able to plug it in and go. It would be nice if it had a switch on it to, as ive been just yanking the plug when Im done. I havent wrapped a bird yet bit I know its coming and id rather hit a switch then go looking for the cord. Thankyou for your help.

I use a fan cooled motor...$35-$55 at the farm store. Easy enought to wire a switch to the side of the flesher....
