Hi, hope somebody can help we need to wire up our 1931 stanley argson and have not got a clue where all the wires go, looking for a wiring diagram if anybody can help please, Or advice , thanks
Hello: I presume that your Argson has the Murphy Controller? Does it have a two speed switch as well? How many wires are entering the motor? And how many entering the Murphy Controller? Does it have an ammeter, a voltmeter either or both? Does it have a three-wire Rheostat under the frame front or seat? I have just re-wired a Nelco as well as a Carter , and though time consuming, quite easily done. I made up my own wiring diagram for both, using information from an original of a later Argson, which was very vague, and observation of the existing wires or at least the residual wires. I would be pleased to e-mail (or post here) the diagram, and I could amend it according to your system possibly. I can check somewhat on my Argsons.
I rewired using copper THHN 6, 8, and 10 gauge wire for the Nelco, and the wire sizes on the Carter were 8 and 10, lighter than I expected, but no problem with heating up etc, especially since I used copper, not the original nickel coated steel wire. The THHN has flexibility and good dielectric insulation. Ian.
