Sat. evening Jeff calls from the barn................Dad, you wanna come up here and see if you can figure out why the barn cleaner motor wont start?
Checked power source........................checked for bare wires.....................had the capacitors checked...............................and still no go. Jeff put out the word to his buddies. Anybody got a barn cleaner motor you aren't using right now? Word came back, yeah I got one on a unit outside. "Ran when parked". You want it, it's yours. All you gotta do is come get it. Sooooo Sunday morning we retrieved the thing. It was an old brush type motor (probably older then me) and it ran the wrong way. Took it to the local electrician and got it figured out and running the right way. Got it mounted on the unit about 1 pm. Had to shovel a bunch of manure out of the gutter, and the starting mode in the motor is weak, but it started the load and we didn't break the barn cleaner chain. It's a temporary fix. The motor isn't 100% but it got him going. Next step is to get the sick motor to the electrician and see if it is worth fixing. If not there's another $400-$500 down the tubes. Oh, and as I mentioned below, milk is supposed to take a $2 drop for Oct milk. Yippee-Skippee. Some things never change.
