I have a Baldor 3/4hp, 1725 RPM single phase motor on my hay elevator that has been sitting for 7 years. It worked when I stopped using it. Now the motor wants to start on the high side and trips the reset button on the motor before it can start. Is this a easy farmer fix or need rebuild?

That motor should have 2 sets of windings. Start and run. Once up to speed the start windings are taken out if the circuit with the centrifugal switch. Sound like the centrifugal switch is stuck. Disassemble and make sure everything is free and reassemble just make sure you put it back together the sane way you took it apart. You should be good after that or buy a new one you should be able to pick one up for under $200.00.

But spending 12 hours cussing and swearing trying to fix the fucking thing with a rock, a pliers and some barbed wire is more my speed....
Thanks

Let me know how the fix works for you. It better not take you no 12 hours 1.5 at the most.

I am drinking beer now, fuck that motor....

I'm assuming the motor turn freely by hand?
