Right ... Just been nudged to set this up by Paul.M and sounds a good idea following recent threads I've done in the Arms..

Rules....No Offensive material... edit if required before posting as this is the public arena.
Anything to do with the trade or in and around it ...H&S pic's welcome.

Maybe they misunderstood Ants living in the earth to Ants being the earth.

Either that or you’ve discovered a new species of electrical earthing Ant. Maybe you should get on the blower to a Mr D Attenborough. 😂

Today's fun, back to the old split phase mill I looked at back in November. Originally made in 1940, moved here in 1969! All the capacitors had gone and the panel was in a very poor tinkered with state and frankly lethal!
Second pic, this is how it was when I first looked at it, the farm lads were turning it on with a stick!
First pic, replaced contactor assembly with a new starter and 4 new caps and we are up and running again!

You even sorted out the short length of conduit for the supply and properly fitted a brass bush - before it was just poking through. 10/10.

Well I thought it should be a professional job rather than the bodgery that was there before. And it's doing well for a 1940s mill it's had 1 new motor about 1978 and that's the 4th control panel. I thought it deserved some respect! And love!
Apparently it hasn't had any bearings greased for at least the last 20years so I left one of the farm lads to give it some more TLC!

Really?!

You got to get fuse pulled…test…. disconnect from isolator… cut a couple inches off each tail and reterminate.
Torque driver for that, of course…
Then check for polarity… retest…..

This could take a whole day? sucks teeth
