New CX 709 motor problems

I have a small pump and a large one - its amazing all the things you can suck fluids out of.

You can try a funnel but be careful with the plug jumping out of your hands and clogging the funnel which will overflow in about 2 seconds and make a mess.
 
Well finally I'm back in business. Busy Bee probably shipped that motor to my postal address on Monday or Tuesday and I didn't think to realize that it would be at the mailbox until today. Installed it in a few minutes and everything seems to work just fine.
 
My replacement motor from BusyBee worked just fine and I have used it a lot over the past 7 months. Don't know how I ever got anything done without a lathe in my shop, or back on the farm for that matter.

Built this horseless carriage since then, and am now working on a steam engine drive for it.
