The 1 horse three phase motor on my bin dump water pump emits a howling squeal
about one in five starts. Let it squeal a while, shut the line down,and
restart. All better now. At least that's been the fix during the rush.

One week left till winter shutdown. Do I just trash the motor, or is it easily
repairable? FWIW, the motor stands on end, So the noise is likely the armature
rubbing on the motor housing. I'm surprised I haven't let the magic smoke out
yet.

If you can get the bearings out, a bearing shop should be able to sell you
replacements. Call them with the number from the bearing to be sure.
