American Tackle Rod Dryer Problem

I have a Amerixan Tackle wrapper/dryer combo and the motor for the dryer is misfunctioning. When I spot the belt to it it keeps clicking back and forth between clockwise and counterclockwise, is there a way to fix it? I know the motors are cheap, it's the shipping that crushes me to get it from my supplier. It is the AmTac 7.5/9 RPM 3.8W motor. If it isn't possible to fix, any recommendations on replacement motors? I couldn't locate this exact one anywhere.
Edit: I should have added I have 4 rods I'm building right now and will need to apply finish soon...so there is some urgency to this. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/02/2015 10:57PM by Nate Nelson. Re: American Tackle Rod Dryer Problem

Are you saying it switches back and forth between CW and CCW on its own? Re: American Tackle Rod Dryer Problem

Turn them by hand.
That way you don't have to wait and won't have pay the $7.00 shipping. Divided by the four rods you will save $1.75 on each. Re: American Tackle Rod Dryer Problem

Chuck - yes that is what's happening. It doesn't do it when there is no drive belt attached, but when I attach a drive belt it starts doing it. Re: American Tackle Rod Dryer Problem

Steve - it looks like that's how I will need to do it. Problem is this is a side hobby for me so I just need to find time to babysit it for a couple hours. Re: American Tackle Rod Dryer Problem

Nate.... as Todd mentioned... is it around all 3 pullys? the motor is designed to be able to reverse direction when enough tension is added to it. The drive belt should only be around the drying motor and the chuck pulley.
If it is around just the two and you are having problems please give me a call and we will take care of the issue asap _______________________________ God Bless, Don Morse 800-516-1750 ext. 1207 / don@americantackle.us Rod Building..... It's What We Do. Re: American Tackle Rod Dryer Problem

Nate on those types of motors if you grab them they will change direction. That being said if you have too much tension on your rod stand pulley it will or may do the same thing. When drying on my wrapper I leave the top roller down but not tightened by the wing nut. It only applies enough weight/tension to keep the rod in place.
And be sure the dryer motor pulley belt goes directly to the main pulley only. Tom Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/03/2015 11:46AM by Tom Wewerka. Re: American Tackle Rod Dryer Problem

Tom.... More than likely just wore out... it is not a new motor. They have several gears inside that wear out over time. _______________________________ God Bless, Don Morse 800-516-1750 ext. 1207 / don@americantackle.us Rod Building..... It's What We Do. Re: American Tackle Rod Dryer Problem

I can't be certain, but after speaking wit Don it would appear it's most likely a stripped gear. Re: American Tackle Rod Dryer Problem

""IAN"" it sounds to me like you should get a motor on hand so when it goes south you will have it on hand to to R & R the old one they are cheep I think William Sidney AK Re: American Tackle Rod Dryer Problem

If you do have heavy loads, you can go with a different style motor.
Rather than using the inexpensive timer motors; you can go with one of the larger ac or dc motors. This style motor will stand up to heavy loads and be a long term solution for your issue. An example of a very heavy duty ac motor: [www.amazon.com] An example of a suitable DC motor: [www.amazon.com] An example of a suitable plug in 12 volt power supply to power the DC motor: [www.amazon.com] Good luck Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
