Motorizing a manual destemmer/crusher

[Mac60]

I bolted the motor through the Angle Aluminium and the piece of 3/4 plywood, when I get a chance I'll take some more close up pictures. Put the belt on it yesterday. It runs like a champ. The real test will be in 2 weeks when we crush 2880 lbs of grapes

Thanks for this…have you tried it yet?

We used it 2 weeks ago, crushed 2,772 lbs 77 lugs in just over 2 hours no sore shoulders/arms, pretty much ran it for 2 hours straight, no issues. Really worked out well.
