Replace your Swamp Cooler Motor

[@ronnetteharvey2002]

I've had my coolers 11 years and almost 12! Once a year I clean them and paint the pans with rubber. I clean them really well. Then I change the waters once a month and rinse the pans. New pads every year. I get over sized and fold them to fit. Keep good belts. When I saw your rust I freaked out. Then I saw the spider webs. Nope, can't let my coolers that work so hard for me to get that dirty. I appreciate them and they work well for me. You may not get me but I believe since God made everything then everything must contain a portion of God. All is to be respected. I realize most people don't believe like me. But my life is proof I have things right. I hope you hear me in your heart. Thank you for listening.

Will it blow up if i went up a size on the correct pulley? I have a pulley thats meant for a 1/2 motor, the motor i have is 1/3

[@MattPritchard]

All the rule books say the motor will overheat, but in my experience, it will be fine.

Hi, I have 1/3 hp motor, Can I use 3.25" pully for the motor?

[@MattPritchard]

Use the same size as the one that was on there

hello i just replaced my mottor with a new one and its spinning just not fast enough idk what could be wrong with it i am unable to adjust the belt due to my coolers bolts being so rusted what could it be my pulleys not adjustable either

[@MattPritchard]

Your belt could be too loose, is the motor new? You could also have a drive pulley that is too big.

[@koolaidsmurf9368]

@@MattPritchard yes the motor is brand new and the drive pullie is the same one that i used before i was also able to get the belt bolts lose enough to adjust it and still doesnt spin fast enough i also noticed one of the brakets that support the wieght of the fan is warpped could that be the issue i will post a short video of it running on my page thank you for the advice

Note to self...4th video

You shouldn't have that much vibration in your belt. Unless that's the way the camera makes it look. Like a helicopter looking like the blades are barely moving.

could you just stop doing that....having coolers that blow straight HOT AIR....over and over again.....

[@MattPritchard]

I don’t understand, stop doing what?
