I didn’t grab from supply house it was pulled in my warehouse. I at least was able to swap the condenser fan motor, blade and cap that day so it wasn’t a complete waste

The HVAC Hacker Ohh nice

Pretty cool idea

Lennox makes good systems, not sure why many give them a bad rep. These are not like aaon systems. Midsize 5-30 ton RTU’s I like their product. I’m not picky though I like Trane and Carriers RTU’s also. Not a fan of Goodman packaged units

I usually check before leaving our warehouse. My parts guys excuse was he thought I wanted the blower wheel pull even though my notes were different. Yet still my fault for not looking when I threw the parts in my truck

@@thehvachacker it happens bro. Hopefully he learned to call from the supply house to verify next time. 5 minutes saves hours.

Those sheaves are rubbish. I also go with fixed. The belt matches the cut on the sheave better.

John , you are right, the purpose of a variable sheave is for the balancer to dial in the correct air flow . Once the specs. are assured , the vari. sheave should be replaced solid. The solid speed should match the finale air flow setting of the vari. sheave. K.M.J.P. C.M.

Absolutely correct.

Hello Jonny, how do you measure the variable pulley before you buy a fixed one? Thanks, I have a few variable-speed pulleys in the building and the belts almost sit at the bottom of the pulleys, so I want to change them. but need to buy the proper pulley.@@jonnymac31

Thanks Eddy

Thanks Donnie

Thanks

Usually my parts guys don’t grab wrong parts like this. I should of known when I was told the shaft size I gave was wrong

From size of motor shaft

yes true, if spraying shaft with wd or something else to help break free often the marker will come off. worth trying and chance it might stay on shaft.

Thanks!

you would need to check the manual. sometimes theres a sticker on the blower housing specifying the number of turns required for the motor pulley

It’s the camera I hit photo by accident when I was aligning the pulleys with the metal bracket that goes across the front of the blower section.

I figured so. :) I know what camera lens and other optics distortion does to things without a dead center straight on shot, even then wide angle, fisheye and others can play tricks

What about the PIN?

I will check into it.

We have a Dayton Motor, HP 1/3. How do we tell what pulley to buy with it?

I used the metal piece that goes across the front of the blower slider to make sure my alinement was good, also checked motor amps after testing. As for tension you can go by feel. Doing this long enough you know when a belt is loose, or too tight. I opened the shiv last time out so I knew I had to close the shelves to where the previous one was set. Not where it was when I removed. That unit is running good if not I will hear about it next month when I do the heat pm. I am in this building 8 times a year for maintenance

Easy to be a spectator... don’t even have the balls to make your own videos...show us how it’s done or keep it to yourself .....sorry af

Lol. There's always those know it all snobs like you. Let the man work. What if he's starting out? Always good to get repetition. Everyone starts somewhere. To many trade fudds like you out there who just want people to pick up and trash and carry your tools all day

I think your wife cheats on you every time she gets
