Anyone know of a source for a DC motor and speed controller for a HF 44142? With reverse?

Yes steal your wifes treadmill and take the motor and motor controller out of it. Then put it back so it looks like it has never been touched. When she complains about it not working tell her it was too bad and that it would cost to much to repair. Then take the flyweel off the motor machine the shaft to accept your pulley and there ya go.

That's good one, and might be handy in several other situation....:lmao:
I've hear of this treadmill conversion a few times now, does anyone know if this setup allows for reversing the motor:thinking:
I have a 2hp treadmill motor and controller powering my X2 mill. Very happy with it. I haven't found a need to reverse the mill. but it can be done with a Double Pole Double Pole toggle switch. I would recommend one with a center off, has on-off-on positions, to allow the motor to stop before reversing direction.
Funny this should come up. Sunday I bought a 12vdc gear reduction motor (59:1 reduction) for $10, and 2 DPDT center off switches for $4, at the local flea market. Google DC motor reverse switch to find a wiring diagram.
