Thanks for the feedback Curt. I'm one of those folks with limited interest AND ability in all things mechanical like you, so off-the-shelf is my world, I guess. You have a gift that I'll never have! I'll call Legacy and maybe Stacy or someone can provide the original drive motor supplier back in the day when Legacy was producing the 1200/2000. Again, thanks for the great group feedback!

This topic should stand on its own. I feel a motor drive is a must for any Legacy owner. I originally did not by a motor drive for my machine, I felt it was to expensive and I did not need it. I was WONG on both accounts. Granted I DID not by form Legacy, I did make my own, the Motor makes the Legacy into a much better machine. Here are some pix. of my motor. As you can see I did not mount my motor as Legacy did, (on the end of the acme screw.) The main reason was this motor was almost free, and its size is to big to fit on my Legacy, So I modified it . Its a 90 volt DC gear motor. 82-1 gear ratio. max. speed is something like 40 rpm. (which is was faster than I will ever use on my machine.) The gear's and chain are from an Audi timing chain (I picked up second hand form my auto garage shop.) I made one limit switch. (not shown) All the wire is Home Depot speaker wire. As you can see, there are more than one way to do almost anything. and you don't have to spend a lot of money to get the job done. Talk to you more latter. C.A.G.
