First I was like, ya finally a man who fixes shit and knows what he’s going then.. I’m sitting here yelling “wtf you doing!! Not that way, stop!!” When you were trying to get in by removing the impeller lol
No angry machinists here, just a concerned vacuum repair tech. Your fix, though it works, shouldn't be guaranteed. The JB Weld may seem like a good idea but probably added resistance to that brush, thus the motor sounds a bit deeper in tone than it originally did. It also presents a point of failure and more of a possibility in fire, should it get hot enough. You would have been better off soldering it. When I fix machines, I try to use OEM parts and a little bit of patience goes a long way. That fan flange you destroyed could have been freed if you used some form of penetrating lubricant and time. All that being said, the machines aren't much more than $50-100 and that would have been safer to buy a new one or use OEM parts than using the methods listed here.
I absolutely love coming to these videos thinking I'm actually going to watch someone who's done this before and to get insight regarding how to fix something.....only to find out they are as clueless as I am. I'm going to start making RUclips videos fixing random things I've never fixed before
I purchased another shop vac because it costs too much money for a replacement motor. I’ll bring the motor to work tomorrow and test it out. If I can’t repair the motor I’m going to make a rolling planter vase out of the vacuum
@@therandomfarmer4231 Well, these are better than Shop-Vac brand wet and dry vacuums when it comes to disassembly. The fan on those in that price range have more or less a push nut instead of a real threaded nut. Also, I would suggest on the top bearing using 3 in 1 motor oil when it dries out as it's just a bronze bushing surrounded by a felt washer.

I had no idea JB Weld was conductive!
Fun channel!
Yup, it's got steel in it
"Safety squints!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks!
another nice fix. I could watch you fix tools and things alll day
Great info about JB weld, thanks for the tip 👍
my shopvac is making a VERY LOUD SOUND when using it now, it has no filter in it , the hose is clear any suggestions ?
You’ve done it now, you’re now in the small appliance repair business with the best average of 1 from 1.

I used gear oil on the washer/spacer & a brass harbor freight mallet to get the rusted spindle off of the washer/spacer
I have the Same Boring AND Milling Machines ! ! !
🤣you look like having UFC fight with vac while open it.
i found a vacuume like this and i fixed a broken wire in it.. but it sparks lot in the motor.. do this throw alot of spark???

hehehe...that was a bit painful to watch, which leads me to believe you're not very mechanically inclined. :) But at least ya got it working again.
How do I reconnect wires mine says 1245 with 4 terminals on switch also motor
Sorry brother-- it's a no-go for me. You broke the book on safety and for me it's always safety first.
Buddy you should have way more subscribers . Hilarious
How do use a filter bag in one of these ??
Aren't Rigid tools life time warrantied?
Some are, but not all.
Good it work now please put all the missing screws back in 😅😅😅
Good stuff. Do these motor ever need grease ?
They are completely sealed and not at all maintenance friendly.

My vac had the same wire ripped out must be a flaw in design
It's the switch,they put an underated amp switch in them, hi fug quality!!!
Trying to see which way the float went inside the cage can you skip the video
Mine is sooo loud! I need help
Sounds Interesting
More specifically, they dont want people like you to mess with them
You know what I did ? I went to home depot and got a new shop vac.
i thought you were going to say its alive
Do u need a row bar??? Lmaoooo
You're in the shop why didn't you just solder that wire back onto the brush
Why don't they just have a reset button
Like that filter was that bad! JFC
Probably should unplug it from the outlet.
Get out the smoke wrench!!!
yeah... ima just buy a new one
