Step 2: Obtain The Motor

Find a old dryer, I happened to have one in the barn so I i ripped it apart. Sorry for no step by step images of the first parts but I was not planning on making this instructable at the time i removed it. The dryer you will want to get is a small one capable of plugging into a standard 3 prong 120v house outlet. If you cannot find one then you will just need to plug it into a 220v plug.

You should be able to find how to get it out by yourself but i will do my best to talk you through it.

1.) Turn the machine over and locate the screws on the bottom. (may be on side or back for different
models.)
2.) Take the screws out and unbolt the motor from the bottom panel and remove the panel.
3.) When the motor is loose follow all the wires to the motor and pull any plugs on the motor to be
able to remove the motor
4.) With the motor removed find the power cord going to the machine and cut it off (you will need this
later.)
