okiebuck Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Not sure if anyone has experience with this.... My feeder got knocked over (hopefully by a big ol' buck:)) and the timer box broke off from the motor. There is a black and red wire hanging from the motor and I can't see where they used to be. I know it goes on to the timer but I can't tell where? On the little timer board or what? Any help would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripper Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 The exact same think happened to me. A black bear got a hold of it. I tried many times to fix it. The frustration wasn't worth it and I bought a new one. I hung the new one from a tree and put stove pipe around a tree to keep the bears off. Hope it works. I did end up getting great bear photos on the trail camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiebuck Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Thanks for the reply, I stayed up way too late last night working on it, I had to solder the wires back to the little board on the timer, luckily I put them back in the right order and it worked! I will have to secure it a little better this time, and I'm getting a camera this week to see what the heck could have knocked it over!

jerdanmagic Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Welcome Okiebuck! I have the same problem about twice a year. As soon as my feeders get low, I have pigs knock them over and the feeder motor and housing always gets sent flying. Just solder them back on and your good to go.
