Bale Elevator Convrsion FARM SHOP Handy Hints 19-4-30 W.G. Mott, Salmon Arm, British Columbia: "Bale elevators in the far-off frontiers of Canada are invariably supplied with the motor at the low end. This results in the chain slack being on top of the elevator which causes it to wrap on the driving sprocket, causing chain stretch. This causes chain jump on the top sprocket during the process of loading and unloading. You can eliminate all this hassle by reversing the motor electrically and also reversing the chain to put the easy-off chain spikes in the correct position. The elevator is completely turned around with the motor at the high end. Once converted, the chain pulls bales directly up the elevator and it never jumps off the top sprocket. Instructions for reversal of the electric motor is generally found on the plate on the motor that covers the connection box."
