Repair To 12-Volt Motor On White Air Planter
John Beechy, Topeka, Indiana: "I like my White 5400 air planter, but I had to replace one of the four 12-volt motors soon after I got it. Later I noticed the motors slowing down. It seemed to me there should be a way to lubricate them. I drilled small holes - using 1/16 and 3/32 in. bits - in each of them in the housing over the shaft and also where the squirrel cage fans pivot. The holes allow me to oil the the shafts occasionally with light oil. I usually oil them when I fill the fertilizer boxes. This has solved the problems with the motors slowing down or freezing up."
