Old enterprise #22

[smokin peachey]

I was given this older enterprise #22 meat grinder by a friend. I purchased a new plate and blade and tried running some pork fat through it to clean it out after wire brushing. The grinder struggled bad to grind it. I am looking for suggestions or ideas as to what others have done to make these old grinders workhorses. Pulleys, gearboxes,???? It has a 1/8 hp motor now and gearbox

20:1 ratio.

Looking for info for ya and came up with this so far;
Hobarts #22 uses 1.5 hp and screw turns @ 212 RPM and does 16-20 lb per minute.
Berkels 22 is 1 hp with a 235 rpm screw speed and does 20 lbs a minute also.

I see some cheap gear reducers out there but would need to know the motor type first.
