Pizza Hut and Pitco

[Gretch]

Does any one have a 8BCSD? We have blown a capacitor and I can't find the value. Anyone who could snap a picture and send it would be fantastic!!!

Yeah, that's been 100% of the failures we have seen. The shaft seal on the pump leaks and oil seeps into the motor which eventually takes out the front bearing. Viking pumps and baldor motors. The pitco part number I listed in the previous post is for pump/motor assembly with (supposedly) redesigned seal.

I've done about a half dozen in a year, I always thought it was that white powder they put in there oil to polish it. I totally noticed the new motor last week. Such a nasty job first thing in the morning. Glad they found out it was they Baldor motors. I always replace the steel hose.

actually it was the pumps - shaft seal leaks oil into the motor. The new viking pump looks identical except for the number on the name plate. Supposed to have redesigned seals. Time will tell...

We rebuild our Frymaster and Pitco pumps, and there is a place here in Pasco that rebuilds our motors

That's the difference between in-house and contractor... We've used them for bigger oddball motors, though.

When I picked up a motor one time from them, call all phase, who is a contractor was there picking up motors and dropping off more for Frymaster fryers to be rebuilt also, it was only about $200 or so for getting the motor rebuilt

Thanks for clarifying, I guess only time will tell. I always thought the pumps were bulletproof! Unless they try to pump some cold shortening or a chicken bone through them.
