Pusher Motor - Harmon Magnum going bad

Hi Folks!

You have been very helpful in the past and I thank you!

My Harmon Magnum feed blocked up again...and once I remembered to take off the indicator thing I got the block out.

At first, the pusher motor did not go at all, then with some grinding noise it started and seems to be running. BUT it is making a lot of noise. I would think it should be pretty quiet sitting on the basement floor running.

I thought I had seen where some people had replaced theirs. But I searched on the site and couldn't find the info.

If anyone has replaced their motor, could you please let me know where you got it and the model/part number so I can get one?
There does not seem to be a place to lubricate the motor it's self. I do oil the big bearings, but not the actual motor.

Thanks in advance for you time.

do a search under

Harman motors or Harman feed motor

Thanks RayJay!
A search didn't find anything, so I sent them a note.
Probably have one that matches just not listed under Harman.

There are repair parts available at Grainger Repair Parts

Thanks Guys! Yikes I heard they were expensive.

I've replaced mine several times. Always starts with the noise you're referring to. It's the bearings going bad. After replacing the last one that was only 2 years old, I removed the cover housing it since I suspected it was over heating. I also rigged up one of those small personal fans to continuously cool it and haven't had a problem since. I highly recommend removing the cover to allow it to get air. The motor is a Dayton model # 6Z075. Best price I've found is at http://www.electricmotorwarehouse.com/b ... s_115v.htm. Just Google Dayton 6Z075 and you'll have several places to choose from.

can you post a pic of that personal fan set up for us?

I took the cover off of mine a couple years ago. I did try a fan first but it was blowing fines all over the place so I nexed it. It does stay much cooler with the cover off. Luckily mine is 10 years old. I've got a spare on the shelf.

I remembered your set up CK and the issue with the fines, thats why I was curious how his was configured.

My first time uploading pics here so we'll give it a try. I haven't had a problem with fines, maybe because mine is blowing up.

Aint that a BS price for that motor !!!! http://www.electricmotorwarehouse.com/Dayton/2H604.htm

You're pointing to model # 2H604 for $420.38. My Harman takes a 6Z075 which goes for $268.41 on the same site at http://www.electricmotorwarehouse.com/b ... s_115v.htm.

Has anyone tried a motor shop for a rebuild? It looks like parts are available.
