I kind of figured that might be the case with it. I figured I would just take it and see if its was feasible to get it working again.

This welder was given to me and it's in rough shape for sure. I have looked online a bit there is not much for this model. Most of what turns up is the v350 and there is a ton of those it seems. It has some cut cords and is missing a few things but I'm not totally sure all what it might be...

Sorry I have not responded I have been super busy with work and totally beat by the time I get home. I got it working though and everything seems good. My biggest issue was not changing how the couple of wires that were actually connected go. There was only like 3 or 4 already hooked up and...

That is the hoist it is harbor freight. I have the 880lb version though and this is the 440lb. https://www.harborfreight.com/880-lb-electric-hoist-with-remote-control-62854.html I only sorta understand what that diagram is showing as I am literally learning this as I go. I have never wired...

I only included the pic of the wires from the motor and the capacitors as I thought that was maybe all that was needed. There is a terminal block everything connected to. Then there is also a 6 pin 3 position switch. So the switch is up off and down. The capacitors are supposed to be a start and...

I have thought about pretty much eliminating all the wires I can so it's the minimum needed to start. All I would maybe need is the capacitors and power from the wall I think. I can just touch the wires closing the circuit and it should start up I think. To switch rotation you just reverse what...

Yes you can reverse direction. It's for a hoist/winch so the cable needs to go in and out. My problem is I am not sure what wires the capacitors should be connected to. Then I am also not toally sure how the switch is wired to have forward and reverse. Also my meter is a Fluke but I fortunately...

So I got the motor with all the cords cut and everything basically disconnected. I have looked bunch online for the same model wiring diagrams. I have found some that only have 1 capacitor but none with 2. When looking for just general diagrams they always show the capacitors as having both...

Well I went up to home depot and got a switch figuring I would probably have to modify the hole for it anyways. After hooking everything up It doesn't seem to want to start. One thing I noticed is my windings are not all ******* like they originally where. Looking at your picture its all nice...

That's great that I don't need a capacitor for it. Everything I was finding online that showed the wiring all seemed to have capacitors. I had no idea there was so many different variations or that this grinder was a big thing to restore. I haven't bothered really cleaning it since I thought i...

A friend gave me this grinder thinking it just needed a switch and a little cleaning up. From what I have seen im pretty sure its capacitor start and I am not even sure what exactly I need to get it working. If someone can maybe point me in the right direction I would be much appreciated.
