As an electrical tech I appreciate your troubleshooting methods and your boldness to tackle things like remote crane control. I love Matt to peices and respect a man who knows his limits. Your skill set pairs with Matt's perfectly to cover each other's soft spots. Keep being a sparky and good luck with the Bay City rebuild. Looking forward to the next Scrappy/Creek startup!
I'm an electrician and I couldn't find any fault in your way doing fault finding. Keep up the good work. 9🎉
Sam, always impressed by your tenacity and skill in tearing stuff down and staying with it until they are fixed properly. I've always had few problems in taking things apart but your talent in remembering how they go back together I totally lack. Electrical problem solving is also a rare gift . Loving all your videos ! 👍👍👍🤩🥇
For the cost of some elbow grease, a couple bearings and a capacitor, you have a parts washer that should run for a long time.
Great job Sam, keep the videos coming I hope the UA-cam algorithm kicks in and you get millions of subscribers.
SAM watching your channel and Matts makes my day!
watching the both of guys and having a few Cocktails so nice!
I’m just wondering how long Mat laughed when you posted this video 🎉🎉🎉
Good job on the repair. Two things I noticed: 22:17 One of the wires to the new cap is loose, it arced when you turned it on. Fix that before it burns off. Second, either put the original overload relay back in, or make sure the replacement you used is set correctly to the motor nameplate amperage (as per whatever voltage the motor is wired for.) If the overload is not set correctly, you can and will fry that motor if it gets any issues while unattended. Glad to see a really good parts washer getting a new lease on life.
👍 Good catch. Saw the exact same thing. I have replaced contactors and capacitors with burnt off terminals when the wire ends were not tight more than once.
I was wondering what Matt was going to do with the old washer .... It couldn't of gone to a better home . Great work with your repairs 🎉
OMG fluke 77. That was my best friend back in 1987-88 when I was working in factory maintenance. It is so cool to see younger guys that can use tools to troubleshoot rather than just guessing and shot gunning parts. Be sure to pass this skill on to your kids so it does not die.
I love those meters. And thank you! I will do my best! He just started walking over the weekend lol
@@ScrappyIndustries sam i like your always positive attitude even when whatever you have going on isnt going so good you dont cuss and swear at least not on camera..lol and dont point fingers and blame anyone you just keep a positive easy going attitude figure the problem out and keep going and nine times out of ten you get er done..lol
great video from inside of the steam cleaner, even Matt did not show us that lol glad the go -ro is waterproof and heat proof, thanks for another great video
Awesome video! And I just love that Matt knew EXACTLY when to sell it! 😂 Seriously, you do an outstanding job on all the projects you've shared with us, and this is no exception. Very glad to see each of the collaborations you do with Matt as well; please keep up the good work together!
Sam I know I only on UA-cam, but you continue to impress me with your skills mechanical electrical just seems like nothing you can’t tackle
Lol just a little heat! That the way it usually goes. Your sarcasm and easy going personality makes your videos great to watch. Thanks for the content!
Probably works better than any new one you can buy today. Seems the old equipment is the best equipment. Can't hardly fix the new stuff as they are typically filled with "disposable" parts.
Such a relaxing way to enjoy my morning coffee.Good work Sam glad to see the washer back up and running.
I bought several pulling devices but the one from H/F has been handy. I've had to add extra hardened bolts and washers but well worth the money.
Enjoyed this episode.... I love seeing old things get resurrected if they are worth saving...... Good Job...
Sam Fine job ! Outstanding attitude, ! Your skills show you had / have better than normal basic training on mechanical stuff! You are something that your parents can say” they are proud of”! Wishing you the best ! And thank you
Brilliant video Sam watching from Edinburgh Scotland UK 🇬🇧 👏 👍
You and Matt have taught me so much about machines and I would never have learned about them. Thank you and your way of explaining it in lay men terms.
Was sure interesting to watch as you fixed the cleaner. Nice job of going through it. Very cool to see how it worked from the inside. Always like your vids - Thank you for including us in your adventures.
Sam, next time just heat the inner race up to cherry red then put a decent dimple from a center punched or a crease from a chisel across the shaft.
Let it cool and slide the race off. Sometimes just heating the race red hot will allow the pressure from the shaft to spread the race and lose it's grip.
No more nicked shafts!
Congratulations on the washer!
Cheers
Terry
Happy to see the old beast is still providing service.
Hope you have many happy years with your parts washer.
I hope so too!
The reason the motor kept starting/stopping is because the internal motor protector in the windings was tripping. With the bad capacitor the motor couldn't come up to the speed the centrifugal switch needed to open to disconnect the start winding. Partial clue was dimming lights {motor draws substantial during starting} and depending where you were standing was a loud hum when the motor "started", second clue. What surprises me is that it didn't happen before you replaced the bearings and when Matt was using it. Great job Sam.
Answer for two comments below. Wash time and heat time are timer controlled up to 1 hr. Plain water will not clean. There are cleaners that are mixed with the water. It depends what you are trying to clean. "Hope this helps someone."
😂 sounds like you’re trying to be smarter then everyone. But lack the simple logic and knowledge of what actually happened. 😉
@@kevink4914I will never claim to be smarter then everyone. I spent more than 17 years working on electrical equipment so I have "some" knowledge in that area. Where I worked had that exact parts washer.....
It was the external overload relay that was tripping in this case. Most multi-wire motors don't use an internal overload because the wiring for multi volt (or start-delta start) doesn't offer a single point to interrupt current. Those types of motors often have internal thermostat switches which are intended to break the control lines in a motor starter. If that was present there would be an additional set of wires in the connection box of the motor that are usually a smaller gauge wire as well.
@@mxslick50At 19:19 Sam says the contactor is never coming out. An overload relay will never self reset, it must be manually reset. I doubt the overload he used was correct for the rated motor current. Earlier with the original overload he noted that changing the setting made no difference. That was the correct overload for that motor.
Great video Sam,your knowledge and abilities are incredible..thanks for sharing and stay safe.
It's really fun to see you fix things. You are really a good mechanic. Thumbs up from Sweden !
Great addition to the shop and great job bringing it back to service. Good heavy duty unit it looks like.
great work Sam, I really appreciate your attitude you are always positive with your projects!
Incredibly good job, Sam.
Great fault finding, well done , mate, send Matt the parts bill lol
Burning that bearing off seemed legit. 😂 The interior view was cool.
Like the video on Parts Washer and you made it work Thanks Sam .
That's just like super dog and the ford are great looking trucks and trailers plus the little remote controls. Crane. And service truck.
Hey Sam,great fix.
Your golden dog was trying to help too,i see .
Sam, now just use a Sharpie and write the date you rebuilt the pump on it as a reference & next time you rebuild it you can gauge how long the pump lasts.
Baldor motors were made in Fort Smith, Ak. when I worked for them (in the early 70's), they were the only company using cooper windings in the armature
Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Last part was nice. I didn't know that the mesh was standing still and the box was turning.
It is true! It is all about perspective......something I was trying to explain to someone across the pond, when he said he would never be able to know what the order of fractions of an inch go in and his little kid would not know how to calculate them to bring the next bigger or smaller socket. Well, if he had the perspective (or imagined life from the shoes of another person, or looked at the problem from another angle) he may have realized we learn fractions as early as possible and it is normal life for us. That little stunt, with the go pro, got me to leave a thumbs up. Why not get a new perspective and see how it works. Imagine if it didn't clean very well, he might have found clogged nozzles by getting a video. Win win for Matt getting a new machine and Scrappy getting a great old machine. I did the same with buying a great old Westinghouse Air Brake Company air compressor. They have oil pumps in them for pressure lube and I did the same bearing job and centrifugal switch replacement.
Nice save Sam. That really does a great job!
Better than diesel creeks channel keep up he great vids.
Love your videos and your superlingers. From Nova scotia
It is helpful to put a slinger between the pump and the motor end bell. it is a rubber disk that stretch fits before on the shaft. it spins off the water before going in bearing
Yes I enjoyed the content. I worked hard this morning. Now I’m going to take a Scrappy Marathon break. Thanks Sam.
Way to go Sam, another interesting video love your channel along with your buddy Matt!
I hope Matt gave you a good deal on it😊😊
Their a lot of diesel shops that would be blessed to have you. But i sure you make good on your own. . And most all your stuff is more up to date than matt at diesel creak .but i injoy watching him bridge back. That on iron
Nice video, those machines are very handy and time savers. All your repairs on it are of course under warranty... At least you helped him out a lot..
That seems like a good stress test for the GoPro.
Very good,well done.
Great job Sam. I was just cringing when you applied heat so near the shaft, possibly of warping the shaft. I use a grinder to cut the inner race.
Nice work Sam ! I love the huge spark when you turned it on after putting the new capacitor in . Mc Master is the bomb !
I agree with the person before me. Keep the videos coming. I know you have other things you have to do but, your content is awesome. Keep up the great work ✌️
Loved the gopro in the washer.
Im amazed we could see anything lol
Nice job done Sam, your rite, now you got a working parts washer 👍👍🍮🍮😎😎❤️
Hats off to you Sam
Every electric motor that I’ve tried to fix=
I remove the rotor and it never goes back together right then heads to the scrap bin🤦🏻
That was some:-)completely different, a parts washer from the inside! Thanks for the run through :-) :-)
Nice job on the repair of the parts washer, interesting internal view, fun to watch, now, put the cam in the fridge to confirm that the light goes out when you shut the door!!🙄😏😉😂 Thanks for the video, appreciate your time and effort on them.
I bet the washer is doing a much better job now than when it was dying. Good luck with her.
Sam, good job, I’m afraid when it comes to matters electrical I’m a huge failure and only as a last resort did I attempt repairs until I got a few repair bills and decided I should try myself. I’m still a reluctant player but on a farm you need to do these things and sometimes I even surprise myself, but admire guys like you who achieve great results.
Nice work Sam
That's just like that's little mack is going to be a cool truck went you get done with it.
hello Sam & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Sam & Friends Randy
Interesting video as always , just a tip : pls get rid of the cords from your hoodie when you work with the lathe. It got people killed or really mutilated here ....
@22:18 you got a spark at the capacitor terminal ,,, checkif its loose ,, if it is, then, probably thats what damaged the old capacitor ,,, cheers ,, great videos 👍
... and in conclusion 😳 the bearing was bad,, but not ceased as i saw when u desasembled ,,, probably it was the capacitor the wole time.. but this is just my opinion as a NOT ELECTRICAL TECH 😯 as some others 🤣
Great video as always.
Change your spade connections on your new cap. The old ones have lost their strength from the heat and get loose from it trying to start from the bad cap.
is that what is making the cap arc at 22:18?
Other week i found myself replacing a couple of 30Uf run caps on a commercial extractor for a kitchen....
Blown up....
When they go out.......they go out BIG...
😀🇬🇧🏴😀
I'm surprised how clean that old go pro got!
good video Scrappy
Good stuff Sam
Thanks Sam ive always wanted to take a ride inside a parts cleaner 😅😅😅,inovative camera work my friend 😊😊

There was a spark on the right hand most capacitor connection when you tested it. Make sure all the connections are tight.
Obviously the washer came with a lifetime warranty good for the life of the product. When the product died so did the warranty. Hope Matt gave you a good deal on it!
Super Sam , little heat does the job , fix it not trash it , thanks for sharing Sam !
Fun video! Great job!
Another awesome scrappy video.
Keep up the Great Content Sam.👍🇬🇧🇺🇦 Sweet.
Awesome job
Informative and entertaining video. Good job on getting that sorted. One thought: Whenever you use abrasives on the lathe it is a good idea to cover the ways and the carriage to protect them. Thanks for the video.
How did you a Matt meet? It’s really fun to watch you two work together. Ten thousand thumbs up!!!!!
Enjoying your videos!!
Another great video Thanks
Very informative Video!!
Well done sir great watch 👍👋🇨🇦
Good job Sam working like new now buddy 🔧🔧🔧👍👌❤️🐾🐾🦴🦴
Nice spark at 22,17 on the capacitor..
Another successful repair 👌
Enjoyed this 100percent 🇺🇲💪💯🌞👍
Sam, I have a larger Cuda parts washer for sale. It is an upright model 2530. It will hold items 25" in diameter and up to 30" tall. Everything works as it should. A new 2530 sells for over $13,000, mine is for sell for $2,000. I'm a retired engine builder and live less than two hours from you. Delivery included in price. Thanks, Robin in Philippi, WV
How much is this one worth in Trade in value 😂
Awesome pal
Will you need to get that running up to 88mph (back to the future) before it will run properly 😊 I sure am glad that I had come across Matt's (diesel creek) channel that then got me onto yours. Great viewing
Sam keep the grease fitting and put some in to avoid any humidity getting in!! There looks to be some hinges under the danger high voltage sticker!! Could have helped in the installation!! Thanks for sharing
Good repair Sam great video thanks
Great repair thanks for sharing 🦘
Great video bro and good result too. Safe travels and happy easter. Ken.
Nice job. It may not be pretty but it's functional.
Safety Hint for Polishing on Lathes:
always put your hand with sanding paper on top of the rotating part, so if your paper tangles on the part, you get pushed away from the machine. If You put your paper on the bottom, You get pulled into the machine, if the paper sticks to your part.
Der... otay Sally. We just igner it pull rit out muh fingers.
Thanks again Sam!
