Billy's heavy duty version of a treadle motor

[BillyHill]

A fairly complete, accurate set of drawings for a beginner to build a treadle motor (yep, finger powered!). This is a more heavy duty version of the popular finger motor that you'll find here or other places. It is re- designed to accommodate a heavy 5-inch dia brass hand-wheel I had on-hand to use for a flywheel. I modeled and made the drawings in Solidworks, complete with all the proper mates to make it functional.

Oh, and at least a few of the designs are based on salvaging a few mistakes made during the build. See if you can guess which ones...
