Tonight my wife and I were lieing on the couch watching some TV when the blower motor on our pellet stove started churping. Tear into it with the few tools I have here (everything else is either at the farm or at work) and find about 1/2 of the last homeowners dog in the squirrle cage. I took it all apart, took apart the motor and cleaned up the armature with a sponge w/ the scotch brite on one side. Put it back together and it's better, espescially at a lower speed (Blows more air too- go figure) but still not 100%.
I noticed that it's a Dayton (grainger) but their website is down for repairs right now. Call their 24/7 tech line and the entire blower (only thing with good numbers) is about $70. The guy will email me a parts breakdown when the site goes back up, and then I can see if the motor alone is any cheaper. Thinking I'll get a new motor, then fix the old one with new bearings and such so I have a spare to keep in the basement. The stove is only 5 years old, so I figure this will probably happen again...
Hope the stove will get us through the weekend so I don't have to burn more fuel oil.... Had to run the furnace today just to keep the wall with the thermostat (8' from the stove) above 72*.

What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
