Fixin’ Up Feldy

[Brian Holcombe]

I decided to leave off the dog house and just put a fan cover on the motor. I found one here:

And these guys are wonderful!

No one near me seems to deal in metric motors at all, these guys (JR) mentioned that they specialize in it.

Proof in the pudding;

Looks very good

Brian, that’s an excellent upgrade. What is the purpose of the vertical plate? Is it mechanically attached to the motor?
What metal working machinery do you have?

[Jim Becker]

Clearly "rock steady" now! I also like that you're going with the fan shroud...cleaner and less obtrusive while still doing the job.

Thanks Gents!

Jim, I agree, it’s much easier to see what I’m doing with out the dog house.

Bruce, the lower bolts for the bell housing bolt into it. It puts the lifting force on two 8mm bolts and removes it from four 4mm bolts.

I have a Bridgeport mill, 36 Ton ironworker, Mig and Tig machines at my father’s shop.

Thanks for the explanation.
