Thanks Wade, brings back memories, I worked in an electric motor shop with 24 hour emergency service, i think you did a sweet job of getting that motor out and back in again, sometimes you do what you have to, sketchy or not. Enjoyed watching, appreciate you taking time to record it. You have a good crew to work with.

An excavator on a log deck.....how can that NOT be a good vidja?!?!? 24 years on that motor, thats pretty good. Shows what a little maintenance will do.
@alanwatts92325 ай бұрын
Interesting video Wade. Years ago I was a maintenance electrician in a knitting mill. If a machine was down for mechanical adjustment I'd take the opportunity to check the motors. With my ear muffs against the side of the cabinet a quick spin of the motor and I could hear if the bearing were on the way out, replacing them early saved many motors from having to be rewired. In your case a stethoscope might be useful.

In regard to rotation, ... it seems like a 50/50 proposition, but in over 40 years of monkeying with 3 phase motors, getting correct rotation on the first try only happens about 25% of the time.
