More Stir-Ator repair

I got the Stir-Ator going again.  Now if I can just get the blog software to behave!  Remember the bent pulley mount?  Repaired it. Straightened the guide arm.  Put it together and it all worked.  But you see that little curly wire in the background of the photo of the pulley mount?  THAT was going to cause trouble.



The wire got loose enough it caught on the trolley as it moved and pulled in two. Since that fed the track motor the machine stopeed moving ... but continued to run. Long term we need to install an update kit.  But that will have to wait until the bin is full so we can stand on top of the corn and work. I got it fixed Sunday afternoon. But while doing that I spied this

The big pulley in the middle is going to need replaced. When you take off the nut holding it on everything falls off. It's going to be fun.
If you have a Stir-ator you don't need a hobby
