I recently acquired an old (probably 20 years old) Leeson motor. It's a 1/3 horsepower, 3450 RPM motor. It's a model '100264-01', works fine, just can't think of a use for it. Any ideas would be welcome. I originally intended to hook it up to a squirrel cage blower, but I couldn't fine one that was the right size/didn't already have a motor. So now I've got a motor sitting around, and I'd hate to see it go to waste. I can post pics upon request, and any other information I can garner from the label, I couldn't find anything online.

Dimensions:
W: ~8 1/2" (including single arm-thing...I can't remember the name right now)
D: 5 1/2"
H: 6"

Thanks for any ideas.
 





Put it in your pipe and smoke it.
















In all seriousness I have no idea. And could you tell me what a squirrel cage blower does, lolol?

Looks intreseting but I still have no idea what it does... Maybe you grind squirrels up in it and it blow their remains out of their cage and onto your lawn for fertilizer, like in War of the Worlds.
 
It's for blow drying a squirls hair doo's after a visit at the beauty saloon :D
as far as fertalizing the lawn TJ has a shot gun that will take care of that, he dosn't like squirls to get there hair done LOL :eg:

Indeed they do, some can move (single motor/fan) upto 3200 cubic feet of air a minute, they're used for drying floors, carpets, and stuff. They're also good when it's hot and you want to cool off, which is constantly in Florida.

Edit: Okay, probably a stupid idea, but could this be used to make a lathe? (Okay, so not probably, it's stupid, but I'm tired and bored, and it's nagging me that it's just sitting there.)
