I don't recall ever seeing an H-H mount like that one, would like to see it with the cover off.

Thread 'Restoring an AJAX H to H'

Aug 18, 2021

I have decided to add another 10 footer to the farm and run it with a H to H instead of an actuator. The H to H motors generally don't do well here in the Canadian winters. I am going to give it a try with the assistance of a heat tape.

I had this AJAX in storage which I removed from a dish and replaced with a Von Weise. As soon as it got cold, it wouldn't move.

Connected just the motor to a mover and the motor turns fine and counts.

My plan is to disassemble everything and remove all the old grease and crud. I will then get the housing sandblasted and give it a fresh coat of paint...

I did 4 AJAX systems that motor was initially made for the first cars that had electric motors, of course, it was made for 12 volts, not 36 volts only issue I had was the weather caused the brush holders on the motor to make them stick and not touch the commutator. I used WD-40 to fix them.

Thanks for posting that, I remember that thread.

I have 4 or 5 AJAK mounts and they are all different than the eBay dish mount in that the motor is enclosed in the plastic case, you can't see it, but they do look very similar besides that.

I do seem to remember some discussion of there being at least 2 different basic models of AJAK mounts though, a smaller and a bigger one.

Here's a pic of the one I adapted to a 1.8m Prodelin, as well as a couple pics of the master Pendragon's rig.

I had them welded to work with the Dishes I wanted to use. Yes, the plastic cover is always on them, the gears are a work of ART WOW
