Actually I'm looking to haul off your old garage door opener, even one that has stripped gears. Have you replaced yours and have the old one in your way? As long as the motor still turns I could use one. Tulsa area. Thanks in advance.

Let me look in the shop tomorrow. I saved one a couple of years ago just for the remote and motor to build a moving target to use at the range during a match. The motor overloads are too sensitive to allow it for continuous use with multiple users and scrapped the project.
If I still have it, its yours. Raining out now and don't want to walk out to the shop.
Remind me with a pm tomorrow. I'll be sleeping between now and then lol.

I was hoping for something more interesting like a brass polisher or a moving target
Motorized brass trimmer?
I've seen several folks that use windshield wiper motors because of the gearing and duty cycle is 100% for the motor. Duty cycles for garage door openers is very short.

Naw! He meant free to him.
Ha! Yep, I'm performing a junk removal service. ;-)

I wonder what he wants the motor for?
In my shop (actually just a spare 24x24 garage, I have two single doors. I replaced the opener in the main garage a few months ago when the nylon gears stripped out after the door spring snapped. I rebuilt it and installed the opener in my shop. Now I'm thinking I'd like to power the other door as well.

You can put a new gear on it and it works just fine. Mine was done last month.
Yeah, the parts are available from Amazon but many people opt to upgrade to a new opener.
