I guess the word got around at work that I'm now the official Crapped Out Pool Pump Person. Another one showed up a week or so after the 1st one I posted about that was rusted solid. (Haven't given up on it yet.)
#2 free motor is already wired for 115v and runs great. 12A, 3450 rpm and isn't rusted up inside like the other one was. The guy that gave it to me said "It's been leaking for a while." I believe him now that I got the pump body off. The shaft is sorta corroded...ya think?
I'm thinking I can do a Sir John #2, hold the MIG welder. Take it apart, chuck the armature between centers, turn the shaft down to fresh metal, turn a steel sleeve and press it on with the Loctite green stuff. Should be good to go, eh?
