Hey Folks

Some of you had commented on my Old Mill Stoker in the past, and I see a few folks have them out there. I got it cranking away, had to replace the Convection Fan (like the other forum member, maybe I should have checked the on/off switch, it didn't have a Dimmer Switch) no problem, just rigged a dual Squirrel Cage,- NOW the Stoker Motor and Combustion blower have quit. Am I right to assume if that Stoker Motor fails, it will not send power to the Combustion Blower?? It is quite the setup with the Paragon PCT timer (which is still getting Power, and cycling correctly on and off) and an old school Thermostat.

I will remove the motor and test it Independent of everything, as well as the Combustion Blower...Any idea where I might find a compatible Stoker Motor??? I have included a few pics..thanks,

Dave

Thanks for the reply, It says that is a Combustion Air Motor? Mine actually has a small squirrel cage blower for Combustion Air, although I see they have a Stoker Motor for a Paddle assembly also? The Shaft of my Motor is offset from the actual Motor Assembly. Couldn't get a good picture until I remove it...
