?I used to do a lot of work for the city that I live outside of .
Unfortunately sometimes that meant that I had to work on equipment
at the sewer ponds & such . Onetime they had put in a new
motor tin one of the lift stations hat one of the bosses had
bought years before to have for a rainy day . When I got there the
wires were all exposed & like a dumb sh** I believed them what
I was told it was the exact same motor . Well after some time
trying to figure out why it wouldn't run had them pull it which
they complained & bitched about . Turned out they bought the?
same pump but with a different motor . The voltage was off by @
200 volts .& the motor could not be re-strapped to run at
their lower voltage . They ended up sending the original back for
repair & rented a trailer mount pump to keep things running .
Me being the nice guy I didn't charge them for all my time , I
kinda felt sorry for the guy . M otor shops are gettin to be like
shoe repair shops , their just ain't as many as there used to be .

My boss at the laundry
always bought new motors when one had problems. Was of some
benefit to me as a lot of the ones that weren't absolutely
fried followed me home so they wouldn't have to pay to have
them hauled away. Only exception was the 60HP 3phase motor.

Bill, Just about any starter shop can growl them for
you. As far as larger facilities go,? if Ron is still at
Capitol Electric, tell him Jeff from Warfield and
