garage con..........

 well i thought i had the problem fixed and well.........i did.......... but a new problem has arose probably contributed from the first problem, the worn out pulley. whats wrong with this pick....well the garage door motor is missing it seems that the motor stopped shortly after i fixed the pulley(3hrs after). great now ill  half to cough up some mulla for a new garage door opener.....or will i?  can handy dandy Dave put his do it yourself skills to work and some how salvage this motor....stay tuned.

after taking down the motor dave took of the cover only to find the source of the problem..........it seems that quality is a thing of the past. see the problem is a cheap part.....if you take a look at the pic you can see the gears operating the chain are made of plastic? it seems that wear and tare and a stubborn pulley have caused the plastic gear to strip itself. the plastic gears may have been used so they would fail under strain  as not to cause further damage to more expensive parts or that's what ill tell myself. you can see the plastic shreds left in the cover, almost as if a mouse was chewing on it. mission to see if i can replace the gear....ebay here i come.
