Any suggestions on a good replacement motor for a porper model B. Would like to have one with good torque. I have 4 porpers and the only one with enough torque to boar butts I pretty well burnt it up Still runs but can stop it easy with my hand.

In a FB Forum, a guy posted this picture of an industrial sewing machine moter, that he built a mount for and installed it on his Porper.
The industrial sewing machine motors are very strong (550W) and have a LOT of torque. Maybe you could do something similar:

Mueller's has them, Talk to Chris he is the guy I dealt with there.

Apparently there were 2 styles of motors they put in the Model B. 1 with a square face and 1 with the round face. When I talked to Chris all they had was the round style motors. I made a bracket for the round face motor and it works great.
