I have a Robbins Myers mod. 23304 (3 speed) I'm looking for a capacitor part # 63757-01 and I need the wiring diagram for the motor it's has 6 wires (red,blue,brown,yellow,grey). I run it from a wall mount rheostat. Thanks for any help

I believe any capacitor with the same values can be use on this unit. If you're swapping a defective cap. for a new one, you don't need the wiring diagram unless you're trying to remove the wall controller. In that case, this MIGHT help you. Study this diagram BEFORE DISCONNECTING ANY WIRES and see if you have similar configuration for your conversion. Please note; This is not a guarantee or a proven solution to your problem and you're fully responsible for this conversion. I'm only supplying you with some information that might help you with your fan problem. In no way I'm making any promises that this will work or can be held responsible for any problems that might arise. Colors of lead wires: B/W= Black with a White stripe. BLK=Black. WHT=White. RED=Red. PNK=Pink. YEL=Yellow. BWN=Brown. GRY=Grey. GRN=Green.  |

I don't know the value of the capacitor pt. #63757-01, it's a two wire (white and black) 2.25x1x.625 inches. In addition to the incoming wires (white/black and blackwhite) the motor has 6 wires (red,blue,brown,black,yellow and grey). The only wires I marked was on the switch #1 was red,#2 was yellow, #3was grey, line was black (not sure if it was the motor lead or main power. Thanks for any help. |

Perrey, do we know for a fact that this is a Summit? I'm confused about the model number, since I have never owned a Robbins & Myers Hunter with a multi-value cap.
Once I know the model name, I or Hicks can help.

A picture of the fan in question would always be beneficial, as well.

I have several Robbin Myers here and the wiring color is somewhat similar to my diagram. |

There's a couple different possibilities here... Could be an original that's a late 85' model that's got the reverse switch on the switch housing and capacitor in switch housing... (which I have not seen before) or could be one of those flywheel hunters too. I am thinking it's an original, but might be wrong. It will not be a reverse switch on top fan like the August of 84-85 fans.
Either way... in the case of the two above possibilities... the brown and blue will be reversing wires going to the reverse switch, which he has not said anything about. Speaking of the reverse switch... assuming it is how I think it is.. once you pull those wires out of them, they tend to not go back in. I cut the wires and put wire nuts on them for this reason.
Need a picture to confirm, but I have heard the 23304 model# before. American made Hunters are the only ones to use these colors, to my knowledge.

I can't find anything about 3-speed Robbin Myers. All I get is Olde Tyme Originals and Comfort Breeze nothing else.

I was thinking the same thing as Brian with it being one of those rare flywheel Hunters.
Pictures would help!

I was thinking the same thing as Brian with it being one of those rare flywheel Hunters. ..... WHY...do people continue to call these "flywheel Hunters"? They use stack motors just like your run-of-the-mill Casablancas, Emersons, Fascos and so on. A number of fans used flywheels yet still had spinner motors, so calling them "flywheel" Hunters is.....f'ing stupid. |

Referring to the "flywheel hunters". I am referring to one specific model, which has the "parlourish" vents. Of which I have two, one is Dan's and one came from Matthew Cody. If I were thinking of any other "flywheel hunter" I would have been specific... such as... Comfort breeze... which didn't have the reverse switch in the switch housing. I've never had a designer's choice, but I assume the stack motor ones don't have it in the switch housing either. You didn't specifically say "you" so I'm not upset.

Hey Brian I sure do love those Flywheel Hunters dont you? I could talk about Flywheel Hunters all day! Why, when I'm talking about Flywheel Hunters the time just seems to fly by! Let's get some Flywheel Hunters and have a Flywheel Hunter convention!

Members thanks for the posts, I've been away and will try to post pictures. Update I received the new capacitor from Gulf Fans. I spoken with Hunter to no avail "it's proprietary information" I purchased the fan new around 1991, it never had a reversing switch in it. I know I'm a dummy for disconnecting the wires without thinking. I've also spoke to a Hunter authurized repair person in Banton Rouge who says he can figure it out. for x$. I'm considering removing the stator and having the components powder coated prior to reassembly. It would be great if someone could figure the wiring out. Again the stator has a polorized connector with 6 leads red,blue,brown,black,yellow and grey. I only marked the three speed switch#1 had a short red wire which was wire nutted to another red,#2 was yellow, #3 was grey and the line was black(not sure if it was the black motor lead or the line voltage coming in. Thanks for all the help.

I forgot mine does have a flywheel and oil reservoir and can't go in reverse, because it wouldn't self lubracate.

Ryan Sipka once received a brown and brass R&M Original that had a PSC motor that had a reverse switch on top of the motor that was covered over with a cap of some sort. It had reversaire blades. I am wondering if we are not dealing with one of those. Pictures again... will help.
