Fixing the Parts Washer to Wash more Parts | Electric Motor Rebuild

[@ToddTalksTech]

As an electrical tech I appreciate your troubleshooting methods and your boldness to tackle things like remote crane control. I love Matt to peices and respect a man who knows his limits. Your skill set pairs with Matt's perfectly to cover each other's soft spots. Keep being a sparky and good luck with the Bay City rebuild. Looking forward to the next Scrappy/Creek startup!

[@janschenck4790]

I'm an electrician and I couldn't find any fault in your way doing fault finding. Keep up the good work. 9🎉

Great job Sam, keep the videos coming I hope the KZbin algorithm kicks in and you get millions of subscribers.

[@kenvik6192]

I was wondering what Matt was going to do with the old washer .... It couldn't of gone to a better home . Great work with your repairs 🎉

[@barrygrant2907]

For the cost of some elbow grease, a couple bearings and a capacitor, you have a parts washer that should run for a long time.

[@anthonycrumb9810]

OMG fluke 77. That was my best friend back in 1987-88 when I was working in factory maintenance. It is so cool to see younger guys that can use tools to troubleshoot rather than just guessing and shot gunning parts. Be sure to pass this skill on to your kids so it does not die.

I love those meters. And thank you! I will do my best! He just started walking over the weekend lol

[@twister563]

@@ScrappyIndustries sam i like your always positive attitude even when whatever you have going on isnt going so good you dont cuss and swear at least not on camera..lol and dont point fingers and blame anyone you just keep a positive easy going attitude figure the problem out and keep going and nine times out of ten you get er done..lol

[@kensnyder2248]

I’m just wondering how long Mat laughed when you posted this video 🎉🎉🎉

[@dlaitch]

Sam, always impressed by your tenacity and skill in tearing stuff down and staying with it until they are fixed properly. I've always had few problems in taking things apart but your talent in remembering how they go back together I totally lack. Electrical problem solving is also a rare gift . Loving all your videos ! 👍👍👍🤩🥇

[@billwilliams9527]

Incredibly good job, Sam.

[@mxslick50]

Good job on the repair. Two things I noticed: 22:17 One of the wires to the new cap is loose, it arced when you turned it on. Fix that before it burns off. Second, either put the original overload relay back in, or make sure the replacement you used is set correctly to the motor nameplate amperage (as per whatever voltage the motor is wired for.) If the overload is not set correctly, you can and will fry that motor if it gets any issues while unattended. Glad to see a really good parts washer getting a new lease on life.

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

👍 Good catch. Saw the exact same thing. I have replaced contactors and capacitors with burnt off terminals when the wire ends were not tight more than once.

[@ricksmith4736]

Enjoyed this episode.... I love seeing old things get resurrected if they are worth saving...... Good Job...

[@zaclaramay]

Such a relaxing way to enjoy my morning coffee.Good work Sam glad to see the washer back up and running.

[@benbogg5430]

Probably works better than any new one you can buy today. Seems the old equipment is the best equipment. Can't hardly fix the new stuff as they are typically filled with "disposable" parts.

[@rintin1874]

Brilliant video Sam watching from Edinburgh Scotland UK 🇬🇧 👏 👍

[@Sportinjected919]

Lol just a little heat! That the way it usually goes. Your sarcasm and easy going personality makes your videos great to watch. Thanks for the content!

[@davidwebb7254]

Sam Fine job ! Outstanding attitude, ! Your skills show you had / have better than normal basic training on mechanical stuff! You are something that your parents can say” they are proud of”! Wishing you the best ! And thank you

[@davidohler5611]

Was sure interesting to watch as you fixed the cleaner. Nice job of going through it. Very cool to see how it worked from the inside. Always like your vids - Thank you for including us in your adventures.

[@williambradford1467]

Awesome video! And I just love that Matt knew EXACTLY when to sell it! 😂 Seriously, you do an outstanding job on all the projects you've shared with us, and this is no exception. Very glad to see each of the collaborations you do with Matt as well; please keep up the good work together!

[@corydriver7634]

Burning that bearing off seemed legit. 😂 The interior view was cool.

[@paulravitsky2898]

The reason the motor kept starting/stopping is because the internal motor protector in the windings was tripping. With the bad capacitor the motor couldn't come up to the speed the centrifugal switch needed to open to disconnect the start winding. Partial clue was dimming lights {motor draws substantial during starting} and depending where you were standing was a loud hum when the motor "started", second clue. What surprises me is that it didn't happen before you replaced the bearings and when Matt was using it. Great job Sam. Answer for two comments below. Wash time and heat time are timer controlled up to 1 hr. Plain water will not clean. There are cleaners that are mixed with the water. It depends what you are trying to clean. "Hope this helps someone."

[@kevink4914]

😂 sounds like you’re trying to be smarter then everyone. But lack the simple logic and knowledge of what actually happened. 😉

[@paulravitsky2898]

@@kevink4914I will never claim to be smarter then everyone. I spent more than 17 years working on electrical equipment so I have "some" knowledge in that area. Where I worked had that exact parts washer.....

[@mxslick50]

It was the external overload relay that was tripping in this case. Most multi-wire motors don't use an internal overload because the wiring for multi volt (or start-delta start) doesn't offer a single point to interrupt current. Those types of motors often have internal thermostat switches which are intended to break the control lines in a motor starter. If that was present there would be an additional set of wires in the connection box of the motor that are usually a smaller gauge wire as well.

[@paulravitsky2898]

@@mxslick50At 19:19 Sam says the contactor is never coming out. An overload relay will never self reset, it must be manually reset. I doubt the overload he used was correct for the rated motor current. Earlier with the original overload he noted that changing the setting made no difference. That was the correct overload for that motor.

[@leolarocque-h4e]

Like the video on Parts Washer and you made it work Thanks Sam .

[@gordonagent7037]

Sam, good job, I’m afraid when it comes to matters electrical I’m a huge failure and only as a last resort did I attempt repairs until I got a few repair bills and decided I should try myself. I’m still a reluctant player but on a farm you need to do these things and sometimes I even surprise myself, but admire guys like you who achieve great results.

A little heat will help, really made me laugh! You did warm it up a little.

[@janschenck4790]

Great job Sam. I was just cringing when you applied heat so near the shaft, possibly of warping the shaft. I use a grinder to cut the inner race.

[@Jacob-de-Veroveraar]

Last part was nice. I didn't know that the mesh was standing still and the box was turning.

[@CGT80]

It is true! It is all about perspective......something I was trying to explain to someone across the pond, when he said he would never be able to know what the order of fractions of an inch go in and his little kid would not know how to calculate them to bring the next bigger or smaller socket. Well, if he had the perspective (or imagined life from the shoes of another person, or looked at the problem from another angle) he may have realized we learn fractions as early as possible and it is normal life for us. That little stunt, with the go pro, got me to leave a thumbs up. Why not get a new perspective and see how it works. Imagine if it didn't clean very well, he might have found clogged nozzles by getting a video. Win win for Matt getting a new machine and Scrappy getting a great old machine. I did the same with buying a great old Westinghouse Air Brake Company air compressor. They have oil pumps in them for pressure lube and I did the same bearing job and centrifugal switch replacement.

Better than diesel creeks channel keep up he great vids.

[@hollynbutler7943]

It is helpful to put a slinger between the pump and the motor end bell. it is a rubber disk that stretch fits before on the shaft. it spins off the water before going in bearing

[@transmitterguy478]

Sam, the most used tool in my shop is an 8" wire wheel mounted on a 1750 rpm 3/4 HP motor with a foot switch mounted on a 4x4 post. 3450 RPM is toooo fast for me and all my grinders that work at that speed are on the shelf. I find I can clean a lot more parts with a slower wheel. Try it by making yourself one, you will like it. Good job on the pump, that could have been a nightmare.🚜

[@poowg2657]

Obviously the washer came with a lifetime warranty good for the life of the product. When the product died so did the warranty. Hope Matt gave you a good deal on it!

[@Neil-ru7kw]

Well done lad 👍

[@MichaelBridges-ks2hu]

Their a lot of diesel shops that would be blessed to have you. But i sure you make good on your own. . And most all your stuff is more up to date than matt at diesel creak .but i injoy watching him bridge back. That on iron

How did you a Matt meet? It’s really fun to watch you two work together. Ten thousand thumbs up!!!!!

[@gerlindejewell8160]

I wish to tell you that the pumps of this nature are very good. And now to the negative side! The seal (buttom) at the shaft will in advertent sock up the moisture trough the rotation of the shaft. Once an abrasive liquid enters the lower cavity it will eventually wind up in the windings of the motor. I do recommend two items depending on abrasive liquid use, change from a brass/bronze propeller to plastic type CPVC. Or purchase a total plastic pump like a FLOTEC etc... We used plastic pumps because they were easy to work with.

[@paulmartin8212]

I'm surprised how clean that old go pro got!

[@justinbarker4603]

Your bench grinder needs bearings also lol. Great video!

[@Bman2020]

Well done sir great watch 👍👋🇨🇦

[@storm9c1]

Great video! A capacitor can be discharged with a screwdriver but only if it's a few uF. But a fully charged 800uF becomes a welder. You were good to wait a while. Or short it with a 1M ohm resistor for a few mins. The only things I wonder is greasing the shaft in the housing (unless you did off camera) and replacing (or tighten) the spade connectors for the capacitors.

[@timharris4874]

Good job!
