Thanks for the replies.
Replacing with a top drive does seem like a path with less leaks in the future.
Any rule of thumb on prop rpm? As I bought it was 1725motor rpm * 2/3 = 1150rpm at prop (2" diameter on motor, 3" on prop)
Direct drive + motor controller?
Hi,
It is really really old. Could have contained 1 or two bronze bushings. Can't really tell. I think it may be too far gone to try to repair. Just getting the old bushing(s?) out would be a project. I don't have a metal lathe.
Hi,
Does anyone know what this part is called?
It was at the bottom of the slip casting pouring table.
The shaft is no longer vertical which alters the belt/pully alignment.
Thanks!
