 All right, I'm in my my boat here the tiger shark slicer. I believe it's called now. It's probably just gonna be For short that the tiger shark anyway Yeah, there's this grinding sound in the motor it does not sound right Yeah, it sounds like it's coming from up here I May have a bad bearing in the bottom of the motor here I don't remember exactly how I put this together. I think To get this apart I take apart some or take off some screws under here and then I pull the motor up and The entire shaft that goes all the way down to here is attached to it So I have to take that out with it. Unfortunately. I Mean, it's not that unfortunate It's just kind of a pain to get that all the way back down in there and lined up right to get into the gears and stuff But I think I better do it. I can't drive around with this grinding poor I got four bolts out and they're in order where they go. I need to make sure I grease those before I put them back They're pretty hard to get out All right Okay, this just fits right over the thing All right, let's see see what this motor sounds like not connected anything else Just shot out of that motor Maybe that's what the problem is Well, I'm gonna take it inside Yeah, there's some gunk stuck in there. All right, I'm gonna take the whole thing inside Dismantle it clean the whole thing Check the bearings. Ah, just just give it an overhaul that tune up. Whatever you want I totally don't remember doing this but the way this connects to the shaft over there is I've got this Piece of stuff wrapped around it comes out through this hole. So it's like a like a set key and The shaft there just goes right in here and it's got a groove that matches with this Yeah, so that groove right there. Oh I don't want to move my washers here Apparently those keep it at the right height. So this doesn't yeah, I remember that. Okay. Yeah I have to keep those washers there. Oh Those screws may be hard to get out. They look a little rusty Okay, right, where am I keeping my hex keys this day these days and I need to go eat some lunch, but I'm getting too much done. I don't want to stop. There's my Yeah, very good very good, sir. Oh Yeah, I need to I don't know. I'll just eat a huge dinner You know, I've been eating huge dinners lately and I'm just not keeping up with what I'm With how much I need to eat Oh, wow, those are really stuck. Oh, no Maybe I can get this end off Let's get my vacuum cleaner Give it a nice little suck job a nice thing about videoing this stuff Isn't if I forget the order that everything goes back together. It's on camera. Crap in here, too There are these mud wasps that make little mud homes Dirt and sand and everything How do I know what orientation this goes where I just put a mark on the side somewhere All right, let's put a little file scratch right there. That's a double line All right two lines there Okay, that lines up with that, you know what these Brushes Should not be that stiff. They're all dunked up too. I'm going to clean those off Those should move freely there's a spring that pushes them in They should just come in Get to that in a minute though Okay, I done do these these three bolts this should come off and then I can get the middle out And then I don't have to take the bolts off from the front It was a really rusty one I Think what I'll probably do is get a rag Wipe well first. I'm going to vacuum it all out get a rag wipe everything down Get some oil on everything wipe it off again No, it doesn't look bad in terms of rust not that much rust Little bit of surface rust, but for how old this motor is it's in pretty good shape Just make sure I oil everything and put it back together Does this whole chunk come off or is it? I think it's this whole piece. Come on, mister You get off there. You have a tiny pry box That's not coming off easy. That bearing is silent. That's what it should sound like So much gunk stuck in this Maybe I'll get lucky if I get all this dirt out The bearing will be silent I put some oil in here right on the bearing And I want to see if the oil soaks into the bearing Because if it doesn't that means the bearings probably still sealed And does not need to be replaced. I know there's some gunk stuck in under here That's making a horrible grinding sound. I don't know if any of it is the bearing The bearing does not seem to be taking any of the oil into it, so it might be sealed Still in which case there should be grease inside and it the bearing should be fine theoretically All right, I want to see if I can get the rest of whatever gunk is in here out Some more bits. Yeah What were the screws for this one? These things? Yeah All right, let's see if that sounds any better Something stuck in the side You know what I think it might be Little metal bits So I look in from up here. I can see I won't be able to see on the camera, but maybe Some little bits stuck in there, and I couldn't vacuum out. I couldn't vacuum them out because they were stuck I think they're just little bits of metal So if there are any little bits of metal stuck to those magnets, it's just gonna Rub against the rotor never come out I can Almost magnets is the real sticky Why they're so useful Sounding a little better Just something cotton there. The good news is I think this bearing is fine The other good news is I'm probably losing some power because these Brushes aren't loose. So if I get them all cleaned up Moving freely Then it should work a little better. Oh, my camera is getting so greasy I'm under the impression that all of these parts Should be free of any stuff. There should be nothing on them. Well, that's a lot better Next I Know what I'm thinking before I get the rest of this together. I might give this one more shot Suck stuff out of it Hopefully if I blocked off all up here would have to suck air right up through the bottom maybe Does sound a little better something in there Take the springs out because it's a lot easier to put together with them out All right, I think that's as good as I'm gonna get this guy. There's something stuck in there Lot less stuff though And I'm pretty sure the bearings are fine No, I think the motor is fine actually Okay I guess I should plug it in and maybe I still have enough Sun to turn it on Give it a quick test All right, I should still have enough Sun to turn this on a little bit definitely sounds better than it did and Yeah, it seems to be running better Still got some some I think it's just bits of metal stuck in the magnets, but That shouldn't cause too much of a problem I'll put it back on My camera died yesterday. Anyway, it's the next day and I'm back where it was. Okay That actually started sounding better after it was running for a few seconds is definitely better than it was Still sounds like there's I think what it is. It's just a little flake of metal Stuck to one of the magnets. That's just brushing the the spinny part the rotor which I Mean if I could have gotten it out easily I Would but I don't I don't think it's that big a problem That's actually sounding a lot better. So I'm calling it done of course Camera always picks up the motor sounds so loud. So it probably sounds like 10 times louder than it is Yeah, I think I think that's it and That might be everything I can do to this boat before the batteries get here Yeah, now. I'm just waiting on some batteries and a charge controller I'm sure there's some other stuff I can do and I realize but that's That stuff should be here pretty soon Week or two, I don't know. I don't know it'll it'll be here pretty soon
