low budget do it yourself rotisserie motor deer deterrent

Hex key close up with hand holding it
A 5/16th hex key is the size I ended up using for the low budget do it yourself rotisserie motor backyard deer deterrent.

The trick is connecting this hex key to the rotisserie motor shaft holder in a way that it won't fall off.

set of hex keys standard not metricYou'll need to open up the motor case, which is just a few screws. Remove the shaft connector from the motor. Notice how it almost fits the hey key? Place it on a solid surface and force the curved end where a rotisserie shaft would normally go. Use a few light taps of a hammer to firm it into place. Test the connection by trying to pull them apart. If it's a bit loose add some heavy duty glue or epoxy. Mine seemed pretty well stuck and it's still holding without any adhesive.

The next step is to re-install the shaft holder onto the motor and put the case back together.

Now you're ready to start making some automatic deer deterrent noise and motion, which is what the next post will explain.
