I'm needing some expert advice on where to hook up wires on this thing. If you are familiar with these, give me a call and walk me thru it. Thanks, Kim.

It has some loose wire ends that I haven't a clue go where. I'm wanting to run this thing before I tear it down for resto.

By the way, it's a CW 1/4 hp 230v motor. Any help is appreciated.

Still needing help on this one. It has one broken off wire in each coil with one wire coming out of each coil also.

Finally figured it out. What was confusing me was the two missing leads that were broken off the coils. Anyhow, I fixed the broken leads, wired it up, and it actually ran on the first try. Now to paint it blue and orange.....Go Gators!!

I see there is a lot of brass on this.  Are you going to polish it all?

 This one is going to be done low-key. Plain Black paint, refinish the wood bits, and polish the brass. No pinstripes or bling for this one, although a stand will be custom made for it.

Nice work Kim, I think S. S. will be happy to know you are keeping it "low-key".  Now, put a 6 wing blade on that shaft and rev it up ..... but watch your fingers.

Kim, You should be proud of that one! Looks awesome! Remind me to get one of those one of these days. If anything I did looked half that good I'd have to give it up cause I know I couldn't possibly do any better. Oh! And remember to take your hat off before your head swells OK.

This resto is finally complete. The final thing to do was fabricating and finishing the display base. Todd Mann was gracious and made the vinyl appliques and all I can say is they are awesome. Todd is quite the craftsmann and fanmann and I think he needs to be elected to the AFCA board.

Last pic.......but really, give it some thought about electing 'ol Todd to the board. He could really use the extra income and the other perks.

It is obvious Todd Mann would have to much talent to be on the board, why don't you run for the board? :imao:imao:imao

Steve, Todd is a perfect fit for the Board. Besides, I'd rather run for the bar.
