Thanks so much, you saved me some serious head scratching! I'll order up the two wire control and get this project running.

I am almost done with my Quincy compressor refurb, and am looking for clarification for wiring the on/off control with my Square D Type S motor starter. My starter is class 8536, and with it is their push button kit, on/off, class 9999 sa10 ( I attached a copy of the pdf wiring bulletin). This...

Thanks guys! The older Baldor does have the cast iron end caps. I was looking for a reason to run the older motor and I think I have it, kinda fits with the 1971 compressor. And the motor pulley is a bushing type, so costs will be minimal to fit the 1-3/8 shaft.

I hadn't thought of PVC, there will only be about two inches between the boxes. Thanks for the tip, I'll run it by code enforcement.

Great, thanks for the advice. One more question on my setup. Located directly behind the 200 amp meter breaker will be my 200 amp sub-panel. I will run 3/0 CU and #4 ground from the feed-through-lugs to the main lug panel, through a short rigid 2" ******. Do I have to put bonded bushings inside...

Hi guys, I’m looking for a little advice upgrading my meter/breaker and adding a main lug panel for my house & garage. I have a few questions, but I will start with just the first one. The flush mount Homeline 200 amp "all in one" is being replaced, note the attached picture. What I would like...

Thanks to all the posts and this website for the wealth of knowledge as I reconfigure my garage! Sean
