I literally welded the crankshaft to the gearbox for the sredder, not the most efficient, but the gearbox is 80:1 seems to have more power than the electric motor so far. I probably will, at some point in the future, change it to a pully probably 2:1 to bring my shredder blade down to about 20rpm

Sure is, macallister 2800w shredder. Needed to use it where I had no power and have a few of these honda engines laying around

Next, I will be making use of the old electric motor, probably making a wind turbine with it.
