That heater project looks really cool! Also a pretty neat motor too!

Thanks for the comments!

It's a cream separator motor, you're missing the arm and idler pulley.

Thanks, I appreciate that. Several have suggested it is a cream separator motor. Will have to look for pictures of a complete example. I assume the spring sticking out the top, and the odd attachment point are for the tensioner arm which would have held the idler pulley?

What a peaceful looking and sounding motor :)

LOL it could be a lot smoother with a little commutator servicing. Just didn't have time to go further. Will eventually fully restore this but it's a future project.

Nice to see electric motors are back :)

Thanks! I am opportunistic and when one strikes my fancy I get it. Been a dry spell for a while but I got these two recently.

Very neat. I have not seen a motor exactly like that one before. Thanks for sharing.

McCormick-Deering made vacuum milkers for dairy usage. I have a 1/4 horse Century electric motor driving my pre-1960 vacuum pump.

Sounds plausible to me.

this is very similar to a Ritter dental air compressor motor! the ritter motors are 1/6 HP and a little more ornate. I have 2 and love them to bits!

Very cool about the dental air compressor motor being similar! Love the ornate motors.

Nice. That does look like the little cream separator motor I found!

Hmmm, I've been missing all your videos. Not sure why... but I shall start 2024 with my eye on KZread. tHanks for the video!

Thanks for the comment! I apologize for the lack of videos lately. Life has been very busy and I am getting back into it as I can.

I never heard of this electric motor before so cool

I think McCormick Deering probably got it from Emerson for one of their pieces of equipment. Several comments have said it's a cream separator motor.

Given the solid end bells I would suspect it was used in a "dusty" farm environment, may a ventilation fan in a hay barn.

Thanks! It was surely in a dusty area.

I would think that shorting necklace could be pulled out, cleaned, and reinstalled. Maybe made in 1 piece, though..

It works remarkably well despite its condition. The hole the spring is sticking out of will be for an idler pulley.

I was surprised to see how well it works in spite of the fireworks show!

What immersion heater are you using for the heater? That’s a great idea.

So long as there is a pressure safety relief somewhere, it sounds like a cool (warm) idea! I know where lots of old radiator sections live.

@davida1hiwaaynet

The radiator has a 1" NPT port. I used a 5.5kW water heater element with a 1" NPS thread. Because it was NPS into an NPT port, I had to use sealant on it. The element is used on half voltage, so the power is only about 1250W which is perfect for this.

@davida1hiwaaynet

Thanks for the comment. The heating element has limited power and the radiator has enough surface area to dissipate the heat. The radiator is rated to 15 PSIG; which would take about 230°F to obtain. It has a safety factor well above that, as well. So the temperature would have to exceed 230°F before the radiator was at its normal design limit. Unless it was totally covered in blankets it could never reach that with the 1250W heat input. I have plans to install an adjustable cycling thermostat plus a fusible plug before the heater is considered a finished project.
