Hi all
This is my first post. I've enjoyed reading the forum for sometime now and decided to join.
I enjoy fixing things up (restoration is a goal but I wouldn't consider myself that good). I recently acquired an old repulsion/induction motor made for the Deming Pump Company and it has given me fits during disassembly.
I'm wondering if anyone knows who made this motor for Deming so I can get a schematic or manual to refer to? I think GE made the motor but I'm not sure.
Unfortunately, I have clumsily messed up the Babbitt bearing and so my dreams of completing this at home have now gone out the window since I haven't yet bought my dream antique Hendey lathe to restore. I really could use a recommendation for a shop or person that can repair/replace the Babbitt. I live in Jackson,MS and have had hit or miss experiences so I'd like to have a reccomendation if possible. Internals look pretty good.
I had wanted this to be a good restoration thread but it seems my first post is more of a call for assistance.
Thank you in advance and for all of the great threads I've read over time.
Regards
Matt
