You gonna need like 20-30hp and 100 or so rpm at the flywheel.

I would piss off my neighbors with that. I'd throw a engine on it and do some quartz crushing. Probably turn the whole back yard into a processing plant. Yup i need one.

What are the odds that 80-150hp won't kill it. 90s 4cyl car engines are a lot cheaper and more plentiful than 20-30hp industrial engines

Your limiting factor is the amount of hp you can transfer with the flat belt drive. You really cannot hurt a jaw with too much hp. The opening size is the power limiting factor. You can only get a rock so big in it.
if you do get it running just be careful with it it’s a dangerous machine that is very unforgiving. This model has a poor nip angle so you throw some hard round ones in there without choke feeding it it will spit them out.
I need a couple pictures of the pitman side to figure out how you adjust it. Also need to figure out if the pitman is oil or grease lubed. This is a Babbitt machine so she may be all wallered out. These machines needed new bushings poured every couple years.

Seems like a reason to but a large tractor to unload it and then rig it up to be pto driven
Yea, I kinda figured that!
Would a hopper, kept full with a small loader, help with that? I did find a youtube of one operating at a tractor show and it seems like it could handle a lot more throughput than one guy tossing a few rocks in now and then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28GBIl26Ndo
There are a bunch of babbitt ingots for sale as well, stamped Calumet and Hecla mining company. Maybe I should get a few just in case. For an initial trial I was thinking about strapping a minibike to the forks of the loader with a powerband on the throttle and using that to drive the flywheel.

I cant type or spell.
Well by the title i thought you had brought the bbw thread from pbb here, but that is a nice crusher.

That thing looks like it should have a cannon attached to it , am I right or what ?
Oh and three fiddey.
Got it unloaded. It will also turn a bit with two people givener.
Went back and found a bucket of detroit injectors so I bought a few n65's, and my old man spotted a cut away of a detroit governor, which I had to have.

That thing is way too beeeg and would consume way to much power to be driven by a standard shaft type PTO.
A belt drive like the steam traction engine or engine that has a belt drive with slippage built in is what would be required.
A BBC with a transmission and a setup for an output of a belt would be my best suggestion.
