Tire Grinding motor adapter plate

[dluna11w]

The motor for my tire grinding stand was delivered yesterday. It is a Dayton Gear reduction with a 5/8" output shaft sticking 1.5" out of the motor. What is the simplest way to create an adapter for my 5x5 wheels for the output shaft? I have some ideas, but I'm really looking for an affordable and proven way to make it happen.

Thanks!

Nobody has made their own stand from a 5/8" shaft motor?

take an old drive plate weld or bolt a pulley or hub that fits your 5/8 shaft with the proper key way to it and mount to the motor. then just use 3 5/8-11 bolts about 2 1/2 inches long welded to the drive plate. this is super cheap and easy to do. I could machine you out a nice hub but it would cost $100.00 plus shipping.

Call Victory Circle race cars(1-800-224-0556), I had them cut me some plates last year with 5x5 and wide five pattern and a one inch hole in the center for mounting( you could have them make that a 5/8 hole and just weld to the shaft or maybe a 3/4 hole and use a piece of pipe to attach to the shaft), can't remember how much it was but think it was around 100 bucks and they did five of them for me .

what is the part number on the motor you are using, I have one put it requires a 90v power supply and I am having difficulty finding a good deal on the power supply, might just need a whole different set up.

Dayton makes a pretty good amount of direct drive motors that have built in gear reduction. Look up Dayton gear motor on ebay and find the rpm that you want. I got mine for $60 shipped. The part number is 6K325 with 5/8 output shaft and 14rpm. It is a split phase motor so you can switch directions with the proper switch.

here a couple photo's what I was thinking including an old drive plate just add bolts and lug nuts.3 is good enough to hold the wheel on. add a key way and set screw and this one is done.
