TB1225 Motor NEW
This
12 volt motor is being manufactured to Injoy specifications and is designed to
provide a more reliable and durable choice when compared with the Ford starter
motor. The motor is rated at 2.5 HP and has a four hole mounting plate with a
six inch long, 5/8 inch diameter shaft. To provide more torque, it has
four field coils (the Ford Starter has two) and the shaft turns on two ball
bearings. This is a high quality motor manufactured to sailplane winch
requirements with comparable performance to the Ford 3110 starter motor. (wt. 22 lbs.).........................$290.00
TB1248 Motor (Limited
availability)
From the outside, this 12 volt motor looks like the TB1225, but on the
inside, the components produce 4.8 HP. The motor has the same shaft
dimensions and
ball bearings as the TB1225. This motor has almost twice the HP of the
Ford starter motor and should be used with caution when launching sailplanes. (wt. 23 lbs.).........................$350.00
The adapter plates, making the TB series motors "plug
and play" with the Ford 3 hole mounting, are on an indefinite hold for the time
being....for details, see "More Info on Motors," below.
Note: I am no longer supporting the rebuilding
parts for the 3110 & 3115 Ford starter motors...The items listed below are

connected to the solenoid, it provides a convenient way to
monitor the voltage coming from your battery. When the voltage
reading drops below 11 volts, it’s time to recharge or
switch your battery.

200 Amp Solenoid for Winches NEW
This
is a heavy duty solenoid with silver plated contacts which is rated continuous
duty. This solenoid is recommended for use with the new Injoy TB series
motors. This is not an automotive type solenoid and is used in various
commercial and industrial applications. Because of this, the base of the
unit does not act as the ground. There are two small posts on the front of
the solenoid and one (it does not matter which) needs to be connected to a
ground and the other post is connected to the switch. For more info
please read............................$29.00
Disconnect Switch

Switch Tip: Drill a hole in the end of the
knife and attach a string or wire to your belt or wrist...pull the string and
the winch instantly stops.
