I tag all my motors with a number. Then I made a document form with all the required information and I fill in the blanks. Number being on top.. Half of the sheet is left with lines so I can write what I did. I have about 40 so far. I Log them as I go . I have some on the rack I haven’t got to yet. It seems to work pretty good.

We should make a book of all of Buccaneer’s Projects he has posted. That is a whole wealth on knowledge on its own.

10-4 on the Buccaneer dude!  He knows his beans!  I have my motors tagged with one of those brown manila tags.  You can buy them on ebay for cheep.  I like to jot down on the card stuff like:  last ran, problems especially leaky gear cases, they need to be drained before freeze up or things that need attention, model and serial numbers also special names that might apply to an individual motor.    (Carl or Hojo or Lumpy)  I also have a running inventory folder in the house.  I buy old sweat shirts at the good will store.  I use them for a storage cover.  Usually we cut the sleeves off and sew the neck and the sleeve openings together.   My babies are all inside covered up and they still get covered with dust and dirt and fly droppings and spider nests, mud dubbers and who know what all else.
