well since I can't finish my seat till I get that genuine pleather and I can't
sleep the decided to come out here and tackle
this motor this is an underwater motor it's not a pump it's just a motor that
spins an impeller this impeller throws water up into the air
Oh about 10 12 feet and does that to aerate it and this goes in a catfish
pond and believe me they need it because the minute this quit work and the fish
started dying within about three or four days so I made a pump from a sump pump
and decided to give this a shot trying to fix it it is a very I don't know
about complicated but very hard to get into pipe as first time I've ever seen
anything that looks like this so I've got everything together the way it come
out and since I don't know how these work what I'm looking for is something
broke and there's definitely something in there broke because on this end I
already fished out some metal bits actually there's one there
so I don't know where they're coming from but fixing to get this apart yeah
and it was absolutely bound up dead off there and it was bound up this this
won't turns and I tried it here in my house and I kicked the breaker off
immediately so I finally got this apart what a whole bunch of little nuts and
bolts and how many times in your life have you ever needed a 9
socket this is a half inch 1/2 inch here and that is a nine millimeter and only
me I only needed it once this is the only nut on there that need a nine
millimeter for thank God I had a socket because uh metric wrenches to my
knowledge you go from ten to eight to six
I've never seen a nine or a seven but I did have a nine millimeter socket so
anyway let me get the taking this apart here I'll show you what I got when I get
it more opened up well this is like nothing I've ever seen before I'm
stopped I did get this out but this is not like any motor I've ever seen I'm
totally unfamiliar with this and I had to get a little aggressive but I did
from this end because I can put this on a grinder and grind her a little chamfer
on that knock off knock the mushroom over I did use a piece of wood when I
realized I was having to hit it so hard and I did graduate hammers I graduated
from little bitty hammer to medium hammer but anyway it's out let me give
you a look at the inside here and this is where the metal was coming from this
is what stopped it from turning it's got this metal very very thin metal sleeve
all the way down through here I'll let me see if I can put this flash out in
from the other end yeah good here we go I've never seen anything like this I
think I can see magnets in there
any of you electric motor guys have any advice I will take it and uh I have no
idea what this is down here but it's totally messed up and that's where them
little pieces of metal we're coming from and I'm going to tell you the put motor
this is this is a Franklin Electric
here's the info Miz if I can get the light just right
you
I don't think the nurse this stuff is really important but Franklin Electric
was not terribly healthy help helpful
and this originally I'm running out of room on the phone here yeah this motor
was about fifteen hundred bucks with the aerator so I've got to get this fixed
the lady I'm working on this horse she won't be able to afford to buy another
one so if anybody's got any advice about replacing this in her skin here
or what I should do about it I'm wide open for suggestions
