Can you post some pictures I would like to see this If the relay your talking about is for starting a single phase motor there are after market solid state switches like this that are very reliable. I have used these in places where motors had switches that we could not replace or repair. Other...

I believe they still use Perc to dry clean. I used it to clean electrical equipment. A lot of guys in my dept with my seniority and higher went on to develop what we thought were a lot of abnormal cancers. I never dumped any, but I do remember letting a lot of it just flash off and dry up. You...

These are very nice to have when you need to clean the contacts on a relay or timer. Its a burnishing file made for contacts Sand paper is not something I ever use. In a pinch just a sheet of paper will often clean a contact. relay coils can be hand wound but its lot of effort...

I work in a mine with Sulphide ore When exposed to fresh air the ore begins to oxidize, sometimes it smoulders. It's hard to describe the smell, but its irritating. If your not familiar with it, like most odds things you smell that you are not familiar with you might not recognize the danger at...

That's a GL-5 oil which is not compatible with brass and bronze metals (bushings and spacers). Would appear I kinked the wrong product. General purpose GL-4 gear lube I used to use Castrol OR OMC oil but since there isn't any OMC you kinda have to look at Merc or Yamaha for what currently the...

This is a specific example and I am not saying you need to use this brand. However lots of outboard motors use simple SAE 90 gear oil that is compatible with hypoid, straight cut and spiral bevel gears ( both high pressure and sliding type lubrication requirements ) and have bronze parts inside...

Quote 114jwh (Vancouver) " You're right - I believe the BD design was around longer here than in the US. It seems like over the years Inglis took much longer to catch up to their counterparts in the US in terms of design changes. However, they rarely ever show up around here on places...

That shift mechanism sure looks like the one on my wife's machine... There is a company in the USA called " Dinosaur boards " I used to purchase aftermarket regulators and control boards for Onan Generators Obsolete parts. Prices were rock bottom. The core charges were very low I clued into...

Any one recognize this part number. I'm curious what this Chinese aftermarket board fits...

My wife had a set of old whirlpool washer dryer we got from her parents. They did a decent job and ran for years until timer problems and then an oil leak caused me to think we needed a new set. First purchased a set of High efficiency GE front loader and dryer. The front loader ran about 5...

Big picture man who is going to save the stuff from the dump after we are done with it... Who is going to save us from consumerism... At the time those machines were new I wonder how long it was expected we would keep them?

That's a very cool explanation and post. I recognized it as an old ice box, possibly a conversion but I did not know it may be significant There is a lot of stuff out there. How many of you other readers and posters go to farm shows and engine rallies I can not guess. But I am deeply disturbed...

I had an 84 Skylark Quite simple so I was able to get it to hoble a long a far number of years more than most cars I have ever owned.. 84 GMC half ton that was a very good truck everythign about it was easy to get at to fix. Lada and Niva. Basic cars, my Dad called the drivers communists lol My...

Maytag damper pads. What are they made of and how hard could it be to improvise a replacement pad and adhesive?

I am surprised its not more commonly done.... I have a cottage way back in the woods up here in North Ontario and I don't have mains electricity so it has been in the back of my mind sometime now to build a proper off grid washer. The Maytag Orbitals trany and controls make this kind of thing...

I'm an industrial electrician so I do a lot of motor control. I have read threads here about sourcing timers and modifying timers for longer wash cycles ect. Has anyone ever tried to add functions by swapping timers from other machines even other brands into their favourite machine? I was...

Henkle makes several version of DEVCON Some are steel fillers some aluminum, maybe you get lucky and can clean the effected area and repair it with this epoxy I've Aluminum putty and steel putty in aluminum cylinder heads with good results. There are also zinc alloy rods for non ferrous metals

Two screws hold the front on the washer remove front and check the motor to see if its burned or its a belt issue. While in there I would vacuum and clean the inside of the machine Washing powder dirt all build up when spilled these hold moister and cause rust. If the motor looks good tip...

Yup thats an American SpeedQueen washer transgression. But its not the same unit that Macgraw Edison of Canada used. Ours are more of a Maytag style. Cant prove it but they may have made a Johnson powered version under the under the Simplicity name. The Machines made by GSW ( Beatty.... Today...
