Alright guys, I did it.lol. The conduit for the underground service will be added next time, but I got it mounted back to back and all ready to wire on the inside. It is sitting a little over 6' but under 6' 6" to the midline of the meter socket. I think I'm just going to build the ground up a...

Thanks for the advice. Luckily it isn't going far. In that case if I could flip the meter upside down I would do that. There's literally only two knockouts on the back one on side and 3 on the bottom. It's a meter combo so it's longer than a normal meter box. I wish I could come up with a better...

So from the outside of my shop to the ground is higher than the inside because it's on a slope. Still gravel floor no concrete to level it yet. The height of my panel inside is to code, but where the midline of the meter falls on the outside is out of code spec so had to move it. I need to know...

Thank you so much. This helped alot. I knew this was the right place to ask.

So everything will work as it should with nothing hooked into the 200 amp lugs because the main feed from the power pole powers the 200 amp and below right? Just put my 100 ap breaker in the extra meter slots wire the 100 amp panel and I'm good to go?

Ok. I was just really making sure that I could do that because I couldn't find anywhere if I could connect the 100 amp panel to the lugs for the 200 amp shut off. Mine is exactly like the one in the picture. So just put the cable directly into the lugs under the 200 amp shut off and run them to...

So I don't have any pictures yet because everything is still waiting to be put up when I get the time, but I found what I have online and got a couple pictures. The first will be of the meter combo and the second will be the 100 amp panel. I just need to know which way to hook up the panel since...

Hi all. I'm currently getting ready to upgrade the electrical in my shop with a 200 amp meter/Main combo. I had already purchased a 100 amp sub panel before I scrapped the idea of upgrading fees from the house. I still want to use it as the main/sub panel in the shop. My question is can I feed...

Hi again! Wanted to follow up on this because you helped, the issue was the connection of a wire I had to extend from the coil. I scraped the lacquer off and had someone solder a piece on, got home and put it all back together and when I turned it on it ran like brand new!!! The smoke was likely...

Well I thank you for your help, but I think it's done for. I spun the wheels earlier to jump start it with the wheels on because it spun up jump starting it without them after I put everything together again but it just spun really slowly and wouldn't pick up speed even though i was helping it...

Thanks. No I haven't had a chance to because electrical goes over my head. I have a multimeter that has different settings for resistance, but I'm not sure how to use it.lol. When I do figure it out, what should the numbers look like?

Ok. I took the entire thing back apart. Put it back together exactly how it should, tapped everything back in alignment, plugged it in, and it still wont spin on its own. I looked for broken wires on the coil everything looks brand new. I guess I'll just have to live with jumpstarting it.

Thank you both for the quick reply. I did wonder about the spring washers because even though i took a pic of how they came out I think I may have turned it around before I took the pic.lol. I have them in as the spring part toward the bearing and the flat side toward the wool washer. Is this...

Hello everyone. I'm new to posting here but have gained a lot of knowledge by reading all the posts. I have a Craftsman 1/3 hp block grinder model 397.19580. I just got done restoring it and I'm in need of help. The motor windings look in great condition after cleaning all the dust, the wires...
