Marco with a 1/2 hp motor and 225’ of 3/4 innercore cable in 3-75’ open reels.

All of y'all who run Marcos, how do you get repair parts? Do you have them machines? Or is there a company who makes aftermarket parts for them?

I make my own parts or have them made.

I ordered top of the line bearings from McMaster Carr for the reel shaft and lubricated the interior with airplane landing gear grease.

I replaced the axle and added air up tires. I enlarged the loading wheel to 8”.

I milled the front torque tube bearing out of bronze and keep it greased with wheel bearing grease.

If you keep the bearings nice and tight nothing wears out.

It has an AO smith motor that I can get repaired or replaced at a local motor shop.

I need to get a 1/2hp motor for my LT90 Marco

I think I’ve given you the number before of the motor and with the number a motor shop should be able to cross reference it to a new motor.

If you want it. It’s in my garage. Just let me know.

Rebuilding the old Marco was taken on as a joke but then I got into it and I love the machine. It’s stronger than me, bad boy will get away from ya if you ain’t careful.

Run the switch the wrong way and it’ll wrap you up like an anaconda

where did you get your marco?

From a supply house years ago. It was ordered from Marco. Marco is out of business.

You’d also want to know the RPM .

I think a 300 is tough to beat.

I’m not trying to be a smart ass but I did it on a regular basis. My friend ( who I need to call ) used one for years and he would call me when he ran into heavy roots or 100’ wouldn’t reach the end of the line.

He didn’t have room in his van for a bigger machine or to carry more cable. His van was so packed sometimes he’d have to unload it just to get to things he needed.
