If you find any electrical device with the cord cut it means ScoutCrafter has been there before you. LOL.

It's a shame the motor is bad but it was still great to see it torn down and diagnosed to see what the problem is. Thanks for taking the time to share this with everyone.

Scoutcrafter does a Teardown Tuesday! Tremendous!

I had a motor repair company that told me most of the time it was cheaper to purchase a new motor that repair them. That is the more modern motors. He loved the older ones.

Was just looking for tear down, found a bearing issue, but I enjoyed your video. If I ever start doing videos I will need to find the hand on a stick. Very helpful and cute.

FYI- today kinda SUUUUUUUUCKED until I got a notice that you ,OBI WON, just published a new video!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!! This makes me as happy as a tornado in a trailer park!!!!!!!

A friend gave me combination belt/disc sander. He said the capacitor was replaced, but that the replacement capacitor had died. As you know, this meant the motor did not rotate, just hummed until the shaft was moved then it ran fine. I purchased a new capacitor and it now runs. Just another example of how a motor can fail, but in this case an inexpensive fix. Too bad the starter circuit does not shut off. As you said, good that you caught this before it overheated. Dave.

When the cord is damaged and I have to remove it, and the plug is a moulded one, I usually bend the pins of the plug before I throw it away. So the plug won't fit into a socket outlet anymore. It prevents that, in the worst case ,a kid finds it and out of curiousity plugs it into a socket outlet and gets shocked by the open end.

Thanks for the special edition video. Definitely learned something from it.

I didn't think the motor would run after seeing the winding burnt up like that. Very helpful video. I always learn something from you. It was nice to see an extra video this week too, thank you.

Well done. Always nice getting an extra video!!

It’s a good thing you had that meter on that motor while testing, just think if someone didn’t know what they were doing. Holy cow. Catastrophic!! Fun Tuesday!

Thanks for the Tuesday video! There are some parts worth saving off that motor so not a total loss. That oak board you salvaged from the roll top desk will look good under a nice motor too.

Thank you so much. You just saved me a lot of time and headache trying to replace bearings on a dead motor. OMG this thing has been running continuously for a while. It’s a miracle my garage didn’t burn down but I always had a fan blowing on the motor because duh it always ran hot. It’s almost this same exact model and used to run a Lortone rock tumbler with three 12 lb barrels.

Another great learning video. Thanks again!

Everything I know is from mistakes... sorry I'm late...honestly I got so wrapped up making mistakes on the lathe yesterday, I forgot you were posting this bonus video... I'm caught back up now.. smart idea cutting the cord! Thank ya for your time Mr. John!

I look forward to your videos every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Truly made my day when I saw you put one out today! Another great tutorial and great entertainment. Thanks for all you do.

WOW - BEAUTIFUL BLUE SKY ON THE ISLAND.

I set my clock by ScoutCrafter. Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Monday, Wednesday, Friday. My system is upset now! A TUESDAY...FAIL!?! It will take a Wednesday, Friday, Monday to recover! We had a ton of electric motors when we farmed. And I didn't know beans about much of anything back then. I remember helping replace one or two, usually in the dead of winter on a ladder working at the end of an elevator. The end outside. These motor vids are interesting.

Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new and useful. Your generosity in creating these videos and graciously posting them here is very much appreciated!

You didn't fail - it was just a burned out motor - not your fault. I find the best source of great motors are when a neighbor or relative tosses out an old washing machine. I've never had a washer motor go bad, it's usually the electronics or control panel. I have motors from old washers that I have been using for 35-40 years and still going strong. I do agree with you - if the cord is missing or cut - PASS!

I found this video very informative as I am about to tear down my own electric motor. Thanks for the video!!

Another great video. I found the disassembly of the motor very interesting.

This was a great surprise! I'm glad to see an extra video! Have a great night !

Love the bonus episode,it was unfortunate about the windings,however I wouldn't consider a failure. If you don't check things like that a bigger problem emerges then you could lose more than your $10, thanks again.

This must be us on the same wavelength! Toots wants a hand mower she can start so she can trim. I have a 2010 Troy-bilt with electric start. Got the electric start working fine BUT after the mower starts, it won't restart till it sits a bit.THEN you have to lay the ether to it because the primer don't work. I'd cut the cord but it goes to the charger for the battery. See, you're not by yourself, Johnny! God Bless!

Thanks John. We all needed this. Jim

Brilliant Mate!! Ya gotta love a good smoke test eh!!☻

Another great lesson 👍 and on a Tuesday too wow 🤩

Great extra credit video. Would be interested to measure the windings with a meter and see if you can measure to demonstrate the issue. Thanks for the extra enjoyment. Best Regards, John

I suspect the inertial switch failed to work and the heavy starting current was left applied to the heavy starting windings. The excessive current flow burned out the windings. It is probably running on the starter windings. Thanks John.

Great bonus episode!

hey John, what a special treat. tks Mimmo

Once again I learned something from your great videos thanks

Whoa! I got worried when I saw your video pop up on a Tuesday 😂. I thought something was wrong. Glad you're OK!

Good tutorial on electric motors sir, I like it. Thanks for the video.

Nice treat, a Tuesday upload. Brightens my day.

Always learning something new. Thanks.

Awesome info and now I don't feel so bad letting the service guy take away my motor after one of the appliances failed. Per one of your previous vid's I bought the book "Basics of Fractional Horsepower Motors and Repair" by Gerald Schweitzer. Had to wait for a few months because when you mention something the price spikes.

Thanks for this John, useful to know !

Every time I watch I learn a little something. Thanks!

You are a great teacher. Thank you.

Great video SC!!!!!!!

Worth a try, thanks for showing it to us. Oh, well.

My grandparents had this identical type motor on their downdraft gas furnace blower assembly. I serviced it for 30+yrs before I moved to FL & the younger grandkids took over that duty.

i can't tell you how many times i called the oil man to replace a motor from a burner like the vid👍

Very informative video, as usual! Have learned a lot from you over the last few years, thank you!

Wow, that is some really good information!

Great video 👍 Loved seeing another motor tear down. Great information on what to look out for when you have a suspected bad motor. Did those windings give off that electrical burnt smell when you pulled it open? You are right you take a chance when find or you buy motors like that. But I still like to take them apart and to see if it can be serviced or what actually went wrong with it. Well maybe you can save some of the parts if you run into another one just like that one. You might find one on the Poor Mans Flea Market 😂👍👍. Speaking of the Poor Mans Flea Market, what a fantastic find of all those drill bits made by Whitman and Barnes,looks like all great quality USA 🇺🇸 drill bits,again fantastic find. Great shot of Old Glory 🇺🇸 blowing in breeze. Well again great video and can’t wait to see what you do tomorrow. Have a fantastic evening! 😃👍👍

Good Explanation Scout . It Does Show You Can't Win Them All. Looking Forward to Tomorrow.

Good video and very informative. Thanks

In no way, a fail. An all round success, in my mind. So it couldn't be made to work but thats not a fail, its what all your effort was for; determining the viability of a machine. Cheers John.

Great John , nice to show the fails , and you do indeed learn from them . I've never had luck tearing them down , always very fragile inside not like yours !! I don't bother with motors any more , only ever managed to fix one , that's because I knew before hand it was a capacitor so was a simple change . Gotta laugh everytime you say bellends ... Really don't fancy a glancing blow with a hammer on the bellend ....

I think we have all bought something that we end up using for parts 😂. However it was a great show and I did learn something. Thank You for sharing John!

Appreciate an extra video this week. Today is my birthday so it was a great way to celebrate

Japonlar teknolojik alanda gerçekten harika. Tanıtımınız için teşeklürler.

Sorry this motor didn’t work out, but it was very educational to see. Thanks for the special edition! 👍

Great video. Great information .👍👍❤...

I love that pointer

Thanks for sharing this, just learning myself.

Nice job John,

Speaking of fails, I saw a video yesterday from the UK where a guy wanted to restore an air compressor. The tank had so much rust inside, that when he cleaned out the rust, there was a hole in the tank side! =(

That was a win win. You got to check it out and got a parts motor too. For a second I thought that was nice of the manufacturer to color code the winding 😂

I thought it was Wednesday for a second

I tore apart one of those newer washing machine motors just to see what makes it tick and save a few parts including the shaft, round stock is always handy. Those are not made to be serviced, they seem to be spot welded and made to never come apart just replaced.

Was nice to see a fail I always say you learn more from your mistakes than your successes Love it god bless take care 👍🙏🦅🇺🇸🗽🇳🇿🪖

I always initial it NFG to save somebody else from the headache I experienced. 😂

Wow a special ScoutCrafter video. Let’s get right to it!

Unlike DC motors the field Coils easier to remove and replace its a good parts motor

When I come across a bad motor, it goes into the recycle barrel. All useable parts I keep. My two young daughters collect all the recycling money. We can’t save them all. Thank You

A Tuesday video?! My weeks been improved!

Interesting fail 🛠👍😊

.SOME NEED A LITTLE MORE FINE TUNING THAN OTHERS..LOL..GOOD ONE, KEEP WELL...

We get extra content!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Gotcha watching

Would have loved to see a rewinding of the burned coil to make it useable again.

By major coincidence someone will throw out a motor for the poors mans fleamarket with a cracked housing or bent shaft or something this week. We can only hope😄

I bought a megometer to test the insulation on electric motors. I bought it specifically for flea market motor shopping....it sounded like a great idea at the time, but i never really trusted the readings. Cheers

A good sniff with the nose will often tell if the windings are toast. Start windings and run windings.

No one can be 100% lucky all the time.

I think you need to do a megging on these motors and cords

I have a grinder motor wih a similar problem. MIne has a starter relay that shuts off the starting winding once it reaches a set speed. The relay burned out and I can't find a new one. I could put a manual switch in the control circuit to shut off the starting winding. Not sure if it is worth the trouble. 😁😁😎😎

I don't know much about motors but would appreciate your advice... I would like to get a 1/4 hp motor for continuous use. I would be running this motor all day, everyday for long time. I'm making a rock tumbler & using it to tumble rocks. This will be running for weeks at a time 24 hour a day. I don't know if I need a single phase motor. Or if there are motors with built in fans within the motor to keep it cool? I heard Dayton or Marathon motors are good. Any advice Or input on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks 😎

Hello what does this motor do?

Can you check the draw of amperage where the power cord hooks up on the motor? Using your voltage meter ? I think mine has an amp measurement on it .?? But is there a way to check if you don’t have that measurement tool you have John.

That was burnt worse than a Friar’s Club Roast.😜🤪

You can always learn from a failure.

1/3 hp motor, but 115v x 6.6 amps should be almost 1 hp? I must be missing something.

It's thermally protected, so at some point the thermal should open and shut down the motor.

Next up ---- Kilowatt Meters

Even though you are "the cord cutter" I agree, electric issue, cut the cord. Mechanical issue, maybe somebody else can figure it out.

Bell-end plus mallet??????😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

what did you use to see how much amperage it was drawing?

Haii❤

What the Heck..!!😂😅

Very interesting but too bad.

If electric motors require oil, does that mean you need to take an EV car to get its oil changed?

Why is your hand so small and why does it look plastic? Why does your arm look wooden?
