I figured I'd also show the rest of my budget basement brewey and control panel. Even doing it as cheap as possible, it still gets expensive. But if I can sell my beers for $40 each I'll be in the the black in no time! [emoji2]

Here it is! All finished and up and running! Had no problem starting it up with a full hopper. I'm running right around 130 RPM which it great. Takes maybe 2-3 minutes to mill 25 lbs.

That is exactly how I have it wired, and it works perfectly (at low speed, I didn't wire it for hi speed). I might decide to set it up for both directions, I'm still undecided if it will be beneficial. You sir are incredibly helpful and kind.

I am so glad I found this motor, followed by this forum! The motor was in a washing machine we had here at work that started leaking less than a year after getting it. Instead of fixing it they just bought another and left this one collecting dust. When I asked what we should do with it I was...

Jim, your instructions worked perfectly! Thank you so much. I did forget to try not hooking it up between hi/lo start before I crimped the connections. I must have gotten too excited it worked that it slipped my mind. In case anyone else has this same motor and is following your diagram...

Here is the wire harness numbered as best as I could

And here is the relay diagram.

OK, I ran through these steps and got the results you said I would! I'm feeling pretty good now. thru high drive winding (6 to 2) I got 3.0 Ohms thru low drive winding (5 to 2) I got 6.3 Ohms thru both windings (6 to 5) I got 9.1 Ohms (doesn't add up exactly, but close. I assume that's ok.) thru...

I also noticed the shaft down note, I hope that was more of an installation note for the washer, and not that the motor requires some special mounting.

I think this was the missing start run relay. I will go through the steps you layed out and see how it goes. Thank you again for all your help. I will update once I get some results.

I am also making a motorized grain mill. I only need the low speed. I am hoping I have the start run relay at home in the pile of wires I pulled. I am currently at "work" but I do remember some unknown to me component taped up in the bundle. I will check that out as soon as I get home. Hopefully...

Also, here are the wires at the harness if it helps.

I am located in Montana... so probably nowhere near you.

Thank you for the fast reply! I truly appreciate it. It does not appear to have a start run switch. But these are the parts I have here with me. I will look in my garage to see if I have any of the relays. I tried to gut as much as I could in the short time I had. I hope these pictures show up...

Jim, I see you have used a GE washer motor as well. Do you have a diagram of that? I have a 7 wires GE motor and can't figure out the wiring based on the schematic that came inside the washer. Mine is a 1/2 HP model# 5KCP160FFA001AS. Any help would be appreciated!
