5. Motorizing your Country Living Mill invalidates the warranty. However, correctly done, a motorized Country Living Mill should still last for many years under normal use before the bearings or burrs wear out.

Purchasing our Motorization Kit

Purchasing our Motorization Kit is the easiest way to motorize your Country Living Mill.

It has a gear reduction motor attached to a birch base. It also comes with a safety guard to hide the pulley wheels and belt. All you have to do is bolt your Country Living Mill to the mount, attach the belt and belt guard and it's ready to go. Just like the Country Living Mill, the motorization kit is built to last for many years. With this kit, your mill turns at about 60 rpm to insure a cool grind for all your flours.

On the right, you'll see our motorization kit with and without the safety guard. As long as you have electricity this is a wonderful way to grind your flour. It's very quiet (you can actually have a conversation standing next to it), and the grind is very cool. We've had our motorization kit on the Country Living Grain Mill for over four years, and ground flour for friends, neighbors, and a large extended family. There has been minimal wear on the grinding plates, and the motor has performed flawlessly. In short, we love it.

Creating Your Own Motorization Kit

Many mechanically-inclined owners of the Country Living Grain Mill have decided to motorize their own mills. If you are interested in motorizing your Country Living Mill we have listed some guidelines below.

For high speed motors the preferred methods for motorizing your Country Living Grain Mill involve the use of intermediate pulleys, which are the key to reducing the milling speed. Thus giving you cooler more nutritious flour. This also minimizes the wear on your Country Living grinding plates and bearings.

Gear-reduced Motors

For those who don't want to mess with intermediate pulleys we offer a gear reduced motor. This is the exact same motor which we use on our own motorization kits, and it is already geared down to run your Country Living grain mill at its recommended speed.

Price: $249.00

Pulleys

Additionally we carry the 3" pulley for the this motor (or other motors with a 5/8 inch shaft) for only $14.95. This is an AK30 5/8" pulley with v-groove.
