Baldor

[cleaning up mud]

Has anyone tried to get warranty on any drive or oscillating motors from JC or you distributor? We had a oscillating motor go out, blew the over load and have not had a response from our distributor about any warranty.

I keep spare motors on the shelf. I also keep a detailed maintenance log. I changed a wheelscrub motor in late January and it stopped working again in February. The VFD was tripping so I disconnected the motors one at a time to see which was causing the problem. It was the "new" Baldor motor. I have a good relationship with my distributor so I called him and he had me send the motor back to them. They sent it to either JC or Baldor (not sure which) and I got a credit for the full cost of the motor. My distributor knows that I keep parts on the shelf and also knows that I am not one to try to get something for nothing. So, yes, I did get a response and a credit. I attribute this to my distributor. How old is you oscillating motor. Usually my problem with the osc motors is in the gearbox that's on the end of it.

JCC is now using a new non-baldor oscillating motor. Texas Car Wash supply sells them as well as a bunch of other JCC parts cheaper than JCC.

I have a local baldor dealer that has made motor repairs under warranty. Perhaps that would be a better path.
