FILTER IS SOLD

Still available - offers welcomed Rick

Great job Matt - as usual Rick

I am working on a vintage Brown Bruckmeyer motor. It cam to me a switch box clumsily mount to the end bell and the stator wires taped together from the stator to the switch box. The switch and switch box are a Westinghouse product The stator wires exit the stator through a standard hole...

I have a brand new in box Wynn dust collection air filter that is excess to my needs. This is an American made product. Not much more to say. It has a $279 retail value plus shipping. I am offering it at a 20% discount - $225 plus shipping. It is a 18 X 18 x 26 box weighing 20 pounds. Local...

I've done that a few times and it is a good solution. Just be aware that depending on the VFD you may lose torque at lower frequency settings.

Good morning - I am having a general electric motor badge being reproduced but it was/is in bad shape. Most of the data has been enhanced on the attached photo. Two things I am missing are the lubrication instructions on the bottom and the color layout. I'm wondering if anybody has one of...

Oh i don't have any plans of working on this myself. I'm just looking for some education so when I discuss with a plumber I can at least appear to know something! Basically a bullet list of what's wrong and what the impact is. For example 1. Expansion tank oriented incorrectly - what is the...

Mike - Uncovered? Have you seen any weather related effects on the generator?

That is so true - at least with me. Repetition is a required step :). I think I'm going to cut off the female side of the power cord and replace it with the field installed connector. Buying a new 25' cord will be plan B. A couple of questions now that things are operational - 1. Storage -...

New plug isn't molded dave but you probably didn't mean molded :)

As said above it is locking but very marginally - i am not at all comfortable with it. Certainly possible although I didn't notice any loose connections I'm leaning more and more to your long shot Dave. A new female twist lock goes on very smoothly and has a very positive lock. The problem...

I hear what you are saying Dave but let me clarify - generator was running and warmed up before switching generator breaker ON. This generator does not have a volt meter - one of the reasons I checked that at the circuit breaker before turning it on. I had control of the loads - only load...

Today's testing - I put the reliance inlet stuff back together. In the process of connecting the wires I discovered a broken ground. This device has a ground from the male outlet to the enclosure box. The ground from the main panel connects at that same point. It was the ground from the...
