Hey all

 
Sorry for my sloth here at the site, and I’ll start off wishing all a great July 4th.  I ended up getting up at 3AM this morning and figured I might as well use the time to enter some stuff here.  I’ve thrown up a nice selection of stuff for you all to chew on so hopefully this offers some substance in lue of my long absence 8^)

 
I guess I’ll start with Damon Henry and his son Mike’s motor they named Swiss cheese.  I thought I had posted an album but couldn’t find it so posted it again if it is there somewhere 8^)  The story of how to turn a motor to cheese can be found here:

 
 
 
Next I’ll take you to a big GE sep-ex interpoled motor I had come in to rework as a series wound motor due to a lack of options in the failed sep-ex controller he had.  It’s not as complete an album as I thought I had captured as things get busy for me, but here’s what I did to it, here:

 
Next we got Myles Tweet’s 1911 Hupp-Yeats Westinghouse motor made in 1910.  This motor came in looking like it hadn’t seen any love in 100 years 8^o  Poor old gal had parts of her guts ripped out to boot.  This is a little piece of history here and a long term project for Myles, but the damn man’s been busy as a beaver on it, so I figured I’d better get a move on it.  I’m hoping that by the time we’re through with this restore, it’ll be another hundred before it’s needing a go through.  I stamped a little Jim Husted was here in 2008 mark inside for future motor dawgs to find 8^o and as a date to doc the rework 8^)  Anyway, here’s what I got for Myles’ motor here:

 
Here’s a little selection of misc stuff, I had no better place to put, here: 8^)

 
Here’s the long overdue completion of the Jimpulse 9.  It’s taken me much longer to complete than I’d had liked but I reworked a few things like a rear motor seal that will allow some 90 weight to bathe the slip ring seal as I didn’t like the thought of having to crawl under a car to grease it when/as needed (yeah hindsight, ain’t it great 8^)  I happened to have had John Waylands original Siamese8 in the shop so lined these bad boys together for a photo.  I’ll hope to have some data here soon and will post it once I get it.
