I got a call one time from a fellow who owned an old

cool. I was pleased to do that, and he was pleased
with the lower energy bills.

Those old open drive refrigerators are cool(pun intended).
If the compressor slings a rod, you can always retrofit one
from an automobile. That and a new belt and you're back to
cooling the beer again. ^_^

This one was about third horse tin can. But, yes,
the old belt drives were fun.

Me and my brother had to repair a 120 ton AC system that had 2 open drive motors and compressors. We pulled a 60hp 440 volt 3 phase motor to take it to the motor shop to get it rewound. It was a lot of fun reinstalling the motor to get it lined up as perfectly as possible. The engine hoist came in real handy. ^_^
