Finally tired of burning out 1/3HP motors (sourced used) probably near 7 of them in the last 4 years. So I grabbed some wood and set it back a couple inches to avoid the autofeed and hung a new 1HP on it. Hopefully this will solve the motor problems, some of them were from a bad bearing causing some pinch and excessive load on it. I replaced both bearings and have new split nut pieces on the way. It should run like a champ soon.
