HEY LES, THANKYOU!

[BradFenstermaker]

Les wanted to say thanks for the phone help and confidence boost on doing my own blower bearing repair.

52 dollars and about an 1.5 hrs and the blower is spinning again.

Greenie also a thanks to you for mentioning Les in my blower post.

Later

I could have told you to call Les just as easily as Greenbean did.

So, why didn't you call me?

 

[Leslie Judson Jones]

Thanks, Brad. I really do care about carpet cleaners.

LES

 

[Mikey P]

At least Brad thanked Les.



Unlike some other selfish self imposed guru who shall remain nameless.

 

[hogjowl]

I know you didn't hear that from Les.

So why did you feel the need to make it up?

 

[Mikey P]

brevic told ME!

 

[Leslie Judson Jones]

Marty, has posted that I have helped him in several threads that I can remember.

THANKS

LES

 

[Mikey P]

yeah, he posted about it (to run up his post count) but did the cheap ass send you a thank you card or a bottle of moonshine for saving him thousands?

 

[hogjowl]

I don't hate all of you collectively, but individually you people make me sick!

 

[Mikey P]

Les and I talked last night.

You've been black listed.






You'll either have to keep kissing Steve Smith's ass for pre spray or buy from Taf.

 

[hogjowl]

I don't have to kiss Steve Smith's ass.

HIS DAUGHTER LOVES ME!

 

[Doug Cox]

Les was also nice enough to help me out with a blower isue and a shutdown issue this week, which I truly appreciate.Thanks Les.

 

[BradFenstermaker]

Marty you should atleast apologize to Les with a nice Country Ham, well they may like Sugar Cured.

You have blower trouble to? Glad it is fixed, Les saved me around $2500.

 

[AshleyMckendree]

What kind of puller did you use to get the bearings off?

 

[Leslie Judson Jones]

Ashley, once you pull the endplate off the blower, you can use a punch to knock the bearings out of the housings.

Thanks for the help Les! But witch one is the end plate?

I made a reference image using your blower photo, is it #1 or #2 on the image:

 

[Leslie Judson Jones]

The endplate is # 1

 

[AshleyMckendree]

The endplate is # 1

Thanks.

I what I have is an old Sutorbilt #5 MF That spins freely, but has hardly ANY vacuum.

The main shaft can move about 2mm forward/backwards and I just figured the tolerances where all out of wack and the plates needed to be machined perfectly flat.

Or maybe the bearings are old and worn and allowing the lobes to move a little?
