Need an Ebay number, or link. Never mind, I found it. Looks pretty good, but will probably require a jackshaft to get the rpms where needed to run a drywasher. I'd use one of these, myself. https://www.ebay.com/itm/GEARMOTOR-...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
They have an output rpm of 180, which can easily be pulley'd down without a second shaft.

I've found it's not only important to have the right rpm but you also need a motor that won't eat your battery. The extra expense of a good efficient motor will easily pay off in fewer dead batteries and less strain on your back.

The mid - late 90's BMW Bosch windshield wiper motors expend less energy for the same work and they won't need replacing three times a season like the cheep ones.

The original motors with the cast reinforced reduction assemblies are the best I've found. Here is an example. Notice the sturdy mounts and the threaded and sealed drive shaft.
