Simple fix to reverse the motor. The wireing diagram which usually is on the cover plate tells you which one of the wires that are just sitting there to connect instead. Should be a easy fix hopfully.

Simple fix to reverse the motor. The wireing diagram which usually is on the cover plate tells you which one of the wires that are just sitting there to connect instead. Should be a easy fix hopfully.
Went to school today and had a private tuter almost. Only 3 students showed up. Between Xmas and the weather everybody stays home.
This next 3 weeks will tell the difference on my work on the evaporator. I have the choice of thre different combinations of pans now depending on my soldering skills and time.
:) Got my new cross flow pans, auto draw off and bubbler yesterday. Bubbler had to be sent back for some re adjustment. Glad I wasn't the one who did the measuring. I now have some inside work to do when it is really stormy...Hooking up the electrical parts and the piping from the blower to the bubbler.
Outside stuff keeps progressing but slower than I'd like (heck, I'd like to sit by the stove and be on the trader all day from now until sap runs). Have the new bush about 75% done. That will be 500 plus additional taps-put me up around 34 or 35 hundred here at home. I got 1/2 mile pump line wire and pipe up yesterday. Still need to wire tie that and run an additional 500 feet. Need to run a 1400 foot airline to supply vacuum to the new bush. Still have about 300 new droplines to install in the front bush and need to update a couple of ladders there. If time allows I have a couple of runs I could add on the front bush..about 20 taps each.
Got an additional 50 acres bought that is landlocked between me and state land. I will probably try to spend any extra time between now and march doing some thinning and planning on that piece.

If anybody is interested there is a 3x12 evaporator in our Swap Sheet. Short little add it states it is in good condition and they want $150 for it. No other info. If anybody has an interest pm me and I will give you the phone number. There is probably 150 bucks worth of metal on the thing.
Guys, its a single phase motor, and you would think that there should of been a diagram somewhere on or inside the motor. NOTHING. I see where there is empty "clips" where you could exchange the wires but boy I would hate to smoke that motor by guessing. I will leave it up to the pro. I see a big snow storm is working its way up the coast. looks like most of it will miss the big syruping section of New England.
Worst trip ever. I had to leave $750 in Bennington to fix the stearing in my truck. Then I was of to Bascoms. The kid who weighed and graded my syrup forgot to get off the scale when he took down the weight. So the check I got was for an extra #150. When I got home last night there was message from Bascoms. I think they caught on. From Bascoms I went to Leader Rutland and picked up my syrup pan. Then from Rutland I went up Lapierre in Swanton to pick up my RO. So I am on my way home, I get past Albany, I am on I-88 and the rear axle on my trailer breaks free on one side. I was stuck in the slow lane during rush hour. When the tow truck shows up the flat bed is too small for the trailer. They finally strap it to the tow truck, strap the broken axle to the bottom of the trailer. It is sticking out 15' beyond the back of the flat bed. At this point the police dont care how it is moved he just wants me off the highway. They take it to the Dwaynesburg exit and drop it in the park and ride lot. Another $135 down the tubes. I had to leave my syrup pan and barrels on the trailer. Then drive 60 miles home. Unload the RO. Go back 60 miles with two trucks to get the pan and barrels. I am finally home, but I still have to get the trailer home:cry:
Brian- Hope your luck gets to running better! How you making out getting ready for season? Can you give us some stats? What kind of ro did you get? Finally cooled down good down here. Looks like were finally into winter. Hoping it freezes hard till end of January. Things finally starting to come together. Still hauling home wood all the time, still running tube all the time, Getting just about everything in place though to where I can start just hooking everything up. Sounds like my buddy that wants to bring me sap is going to be running around 2000 taps, all gravity though, I told him I changed my mind on being concerned if I could handle all that and told him to tap everything he can get his hands on and bring it up. Gonna have to apply myself and make some syrup even if I have to stay up late. Got to pay for all the neat things I bought this year. Theron
Jeeez Bryan, sounds like one of those trips that is designed to make you realize how good things are when they are just going normal. Man I hope your luck changes. At least you have the new things home and can start to get them in place. You got much snow down there? There is only a few inches here and the ice is getting hard. My Amish neighbor is already working the swamps with horses. Winter is here. 10 weeks and counting.
Well said Doug. We all need to be knocked down a peg every once and a while to appreciate the better times.
I went for the Lapierre Turbo 600gph expandable. I build processing plants for a living but this ro is intimidating. I understand the process, but there seems to be so many "rules and procedures" for operating. For what it cost I do not want to screw it up. As far as stats go I will not have a tap count until I tap in. I have put a few out this fall, but I have also been removing over taped trees. I have also been reducing taps per lat. I have also removed a big ladder and changed it to a dump station. Plus the check valves. It should be a formula for big sap per tap. I hope. Weather pending. etc..
