Ya got me all worked up Trout. I can't wait to see what you've done.
Hey Pops, How did you do the chain? I've made a chain by carving it out of one piece of wood, but yours looks like it was made from 1/4" stock. If not you carve like a machine. Nice work by the way.
Are we ever going to see a pattern?Jim

"Hey Pops, How did you do the chain?"
The links are all 1-7/8" x 1-1/4". I took a long piece of 2x2 oak a foot long and drew the profile of the links on each surface. Then using the scrollsaw cut out the profiles on one surface then turned the stock and cut out the profile on the other surface..............
Gotcha... cut them out of 1/4" oak I had planed down making sure the grain went on the long part of the link. Then split every other link starting at the cuff and reglued them back together. By cutting them on the long grain it made it easy to hide the saw cuts. I try not to use plywood on my projects. Just a quirk of mine.Pop

Reply to Testing this blower motorby RolfWithout the complete schematic it is hard to know what is correct.
That said, it is a multispeed blower that obviously has a controller board. That board varies the power to the motor. By doing what you did you bypassed that. You put power across the low and high windings. If any thing connecting...-

Reply to Testing this blower motorby evilbadgerIf he connected to red and black and the motor spun wouldn't that indicate the motor is grounded? Without connecting the white the circuit isn't complete and the motor should not spin.

Reply to Testing this blower motorby cwmageeThe reason for the smoke is incorrect wiring, posible melted insulation between motor windings and motor frame.
You mentioned connecting power to the red & and black wire. Did you do anything with White wire? Per the lable on the motor the black wire is high the Red is low. White common...-
