I sold the rotisserie for $150.
That puts me at a $55 profit. I'll split that with the guy who gave me the gear reduction motor.
I wish I could eke out a profit on all my projects. -

I think he mentioned something about "Tahoe".

I don't honestly know the rated volume of that monster, but I believe it was near full when it was parked, judging from the goo in the bottom.

Several hours of tumble, it drained very dark (black) but no more goop clumps.
Two more gallons of diesel, and I tightened the belt tension to spin in a higher gear (faster). -

The first tumble with about four gallons of diesel produced an equally disgusting amount of goop.

Anyway, it's together and tumbling!
