Repair parts from H F

[herb white]

Has anyone ever purchased repair parts from harber freight? I have a $200 item with a burnt out motor.I wonder if it is worth trying to repair.

[Dean Hoffman]

What item specifically?

[herb white]

A 1500lb hoist for lifting the front end of a riding mower

No experience there, but surprised the hoist would cost $200 at HF. Another option is if the motor can be identified you may be able to buy one elsewhere, eg Ebay.

You might consider picking up the phone and calling your local H.F. and asking them.

Your local store might endeavor to look-up your huge purchase history and decide to bend-over-backwards to keep you a happy camper ? .. whereas the store in Tujunga or Irondequoit may have different customer service standards .. just sayin' John T.

[hubops]

Yep - but order a larger motor - so it doesn't burn out when using it to lift the car .. ;-) John T.

Do you know yet if they sell the motor?

And yes, you might get the motor on ebay, or elsewhere on the web.

What made it burn out? Cheap motor? You overloaded it? ??

Generally repair parts are NOT available unless it is a close enough clone of some brand name tool and the part is available through them.
