Wiring older gearmotor

I bought a gearmotor on Ebay, and it didn't come with an obvious wiring diagram. Since I'm still working my way up to the status of Rookie, I haven't figured out how it goes.

There are two solid black wires and two solid blue wires.

There's a green and yellow wire, which even I know is the ground.

It's a Bodine gearmotor, type NCI-11D5 model 0463.

Volts 115 HZ 60 PH 1 Amp .22 HP 1/90 uF 3.75 Torque 40 lbs/in

For the moment I'll assume it uses a 3.75 uF or better capacitor.

According to Bodine's website, this unit is "Obsolete". According to me, if it works, it's anything but obsolete. This is for Halloween, not the landing gear on a 747. If/when it poops out, it's back to Ebay for another one.

I did see Bodine's recommendation for a replacement, 30R-D series parallel shaft AC gearmotor Model 5463. The wiring diagram does not show the same color wires (Black, 2 Black-Yel TR., Blue, and ground) with the capacitor on the Blue wire. Not too helpful.

Is there some place I haven't thought of to get wiring diagrams for older motors? Is this a standard wiring scheme that any idiot (Almost any idiot) should know about?

Much thanks in advance for help, or creative insults.

I assume you have googled all the numbers six ways from sunday (drop suffixes etc) Sometimes you can stumble into a guy on a newsgroup or message board somewhere who got an answer.

Did you try their technical support? Click on support on their site and send them an E-mail. Most companies are good about giving you the information on older products if they have it.

Look 1 box to the right of that diagram - see below.

The Bodine site shows a connection diagram:

To reverse direction transpose blue leads.

That should do it for you.

I saw that, and it certainly appears to be the same thing, however, I don't see a place for a capacitor. Does this mean I don't need one?

Thanks,

You don't need a capacitor. Ed
