Wanting to power a lead screw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ww5-pmiokc

But both speeds are working now.
Red (and black) seems to be hi
Brown (and black) seems to be low.

But in the video, he is saying brown is hi.
may be a different set up.

I don't know if opening up the motor and fiddle farting around with the brushes did something or not,
It must have, because I could only get one speed at the junk yard, and I could only get one speed today under my hood today with the car battery.
But after fiddle farting around with the brushes, and taking it back downstairs, and hooking up to a battery charger,
it worked on both speeds.



So I don't know on all motors (Wiper) , but if you get a jeep one, l think this jeep was about a 2000 Cherokee,
It will be just like in the video.
Black is your common, and red and brown are your two speeds.
The other 2 are for the parking system. Don't need to worry about them.

A little update on the little PWM controller... hooked it up to a good 12v power supply (had to get one from a local HAM radio store), and by gosh it works! Well mostly... only forward but not in reverse. I plan on running 4 -.4A brushless computer case fans with it so reverse, I don't need, a regular DC motor probably wouldn't be a problem.

wonder why the reverse isn't working?

if you reverse the wires to the fan, does it reverse?
 
Sounds like you're getting it going, great! So, you'll just connect the PWM to the High then?

Think you mentioned not liking ordering from Amazon earlier because of shipping... I did too before my son told me about Prime. We kind of balked at it at first... but really amazed how many and varied purchases we've made through Prime now. 2 day shipping, lotsa times things were delivered next day. I remember seeing a door motor recently when I wasn't looking for one and think I remember it was like $15.

Yeah, when it gets here. I hope the reverse works on this one. I still have to order the power supply and extend the leadscrew somehow too.
I was thinking of removing the leadscrew and center drilling it in the lathe, and then drilling and taping for 1/4 20. Then taking a piece of 1/2" stock about 1 1/2" long, and center drilling and drilling through
it for a 1/4" cap head screw. wish I had a 1/4" ream to do the final sizing.
I have to look in this one box I have, with any luck, I might have one.
I did nick the leadscrew with a file, and it seems like it should drill OK.
Too bad Logan had not made the leadscrew a few inches longer, but I guess there was no real reason to.
I would think I will use the high end, it is nice to have both speeds, to try the other speed if needed.

Yeah, but I thought amazon prime was something like $150.00 a year?
If not, then maybe I would consider it.
Whats nice is that motor on my car can be changed without removing the regulator.
Really the $35.00 minimum is not too bad, but a lot of times it was easier to meet the $25.00 minimum than $35.00.
and l hate to add something I don't really need, just to get free shipping.
On that note, shipping has somewhat gotten out of hand everywhere.

Sounds like a good reasonable plan to me

Amazon even has this motor, if you only wanted 1 speed.
50 RMP this one is.

That's probably the one I would get with pulleys probably closer to 1:1 than like on mine which spins to 130 rpm. Sounds like the purchasers had good experience with the seller too, always a good sign...
 
Yeah, my doctor said she has Amazon prime, but they buy a lot on line,
and from amazon.
I think I am just going to use regular v belt and pulleys, thats what pete222 did on his Atlas.
I got the piece made tonight for the motor, piece of 1/2" stock, drilled to 17/64, tapped out to 8mmX 1.25
and then counter bored, to clear the un-threaded "hub" part of the wiper motor spindle.
you can see what I mean in the pictures.
I snuck up on the final size of the counter bore so it would be a close fit to the un-threaded part of the motor spindle, to help strengthen it.
The one picture shows the piece only threaded on a few threads, then the other picture shows it threaded on all the way.

Disregard the belt adjustment question in the last picture.

I'm still waiting for the PWM unit, and have to R&R the read screw, and drill & tap for my extension.
Found a tread mill motor for free, well trading a rasp for it, but didn't pick it up yet, and found a controller on e bay for $35.00.
Guess I'll have to buy a pot and a DPDT switch.
This is for the spindle now.

Got the lead screw done tonight, and a rack for my files I have been threatening to do.
Pulled the lead screw, dialed it in, to about a thou, or so, and faced it off and center drilled,
tapped for 1/4 20.
here is a vid showing it, no big thing really, shows the disaster area one side, and shows the woodshop side briefly.
