Many witnessed or smelled the excitement at VBCC about a month ago when a motor failed and belts smoldered. The result was a building filled with the smell of burning rubber. On Wednesday, we removed the old motor and replaced it with a new one. The motor is estimated to weigh in at 1,000 pounds and required an 80 ton crane to lift it. The size of the crane was dictated by the weight and distance from the building.
