    Huge Satellite Dish

    No , the motor runs smooth if I take it out of the gearbox. I removed the upper end of the actuator and am trying to clean it up. There was some water in here. I may have to soak in some solution to get it freed up again. I did post some pictures on what I am working with. Thanks everyone.

    Huge Dish Pictures I worked again this morning on the dish after being rained out yesterday. I unbolted actuator arm and it is now free, the problem is it will only move a little at the time and kick out my old control box. I am posting some pictures of the back of the dish. Any help is welcome.
