My new P-10!

[Sirenguy02]

Update: we're taking the P-10 to the house Sunday, ill start taking it apart then, BTW Jeb, we've checked the motor and its not fried.

How you check it?

Baldor probably has the values for the start/run capacitors. You will also need two contractors and a potential relay.

[Sirenguy02]

We megged out the motor to test it Jeb. By take it apart I meant take off the shroud, air intake etc.

Oh boy, a single phase ACA. Better get some nice start and run capacitors, or at least ones better than ACA factory ones. Good luck with it!

Ready to come home!

Pictures of the P-10 in it's current state..





For people who want an idea of how big the horn is.



This chopper is a real pain to get out...

[holler]

We just removed the entire chopper/stator/armature as one assembly and put it in a press. Then you just press the shaft out the middle.

More update pictures...

Finally got it off its rotator base.




Also, the bolts have been a MAJOR pain to get out. Do they go all the way towards the chopper?

[holler]

Yes, those bolts run all the way to the front of the stator. I've always used a little back pressure and an impact wrench to get them out.

FYI: there are 4 nuts behind the rotor that those tie rods are attached too.

Thanks a bunch for the help Jeb!

Are you going to keep the P-10 in the garage or will you mount it outside and use it for tests and warnings?

Also to answer that, I most likely won't mount it anywhere near my house due to the fact I have a 2001-130 about 400 feet away from me. If I end up getting that Fedelcode from Priceville, I will donate it.
