For all of you that have seen my grain mill table, this is the same type of motor I used (same specs too). I got a 2" and a 6" sheave from PA, a bushing from PA to adapt the grain mill shaft diameter to the sheave and a belt and it works great.
As for the theories that the fixed motor will break down the bearings of the mill, I've probably ground more grain in the past 8 months than most of you ever will and I've had no problems.

I've done exactly the same thing Dave with excellent results. My mill is still going almost 2 years since I motorized it.

It will wear them, but it may take a while before it effects performance to the point of needing new ones.
