So we've got a few motors that are either in use or want to be put into service, but they need a capacitor. One is a 5HP that we want to put on the vacuum pump so we can put the 3HP that's on it onto the bale chopper Dad picked up. The 5 is just too big to fit.
I opened up the 5 and the mice got into the box so 1 of the 4 capacitors is shot. Can't really read much on it except Mallory. The 3HP has 2 and they are a little smaller in both height and diameter, but it's also a much newer motor.
The other is a 1/2 HP 220V motor we've got on the bale elevator. I stole a capacitor off another 1/2 HP motor, but again the capacitor was illegible but the size was the same. Plug it in and it works now without having to risk fingers in the belt...
We've got a Graingers near by as well as a few other places, so we just gotta go get a few to replace the ones we need. Would be nice to get the bale chopper working so we can use up some of the straw bales in the mow- The manure auger doesn't like the long stuff.
