im researching a build myself, ive got 50 birds coming up soon, and more after :/ I have two old washers sitting around, one even a large top load with no agitator! This is inspiring to see, THANKS!
Great Thinking. Idea for you. drill and place a hose adapter with shut off valve at the outer white ring. then attach a 3/8 flair coupling and a flared copper pipe, crimp tip slightly for spray pattern or uncrimped. Your washer motor should have more than one hot wire. Low med high spin. or it originally had a digital voltage regulator. The drum is currently spinning at its lowest cycle. You could try a Light dimmer/ceiling fan switch as a make shift on/off/speed controller. Your project got me thinking of making one of these myself. Great job!
A M I was thinking about that but I did not want to damage the bird But now you said it I could always go up one step I will look into it a dimmer is a great idea thanks mate
Am looking at doing one myself but am not sure how to get around the electrical wirings and computer programming. How do you know which controls the spin cycle and whether water needs to be filled and then emptied for the spin cycle to run?
Hey Bud great concept, I am doing the same DIY with a simpson WM, question, the drum is not spinning the centre of the machine or agitator is spinning - How did you get this happening ? Need same advise that you followed to achieve this marvel, cheers Glen
Beautiful. I'm just half way . I put more puckers on the bottom and a few on top. Hope it works. Do you put the chicken in hot water before you put it in the plucker? So straight on to the plucker once you kill it.
I keep looking at chicken pluckers thinking "washing machine"! When I get time one day, I'll give it a go. Cheers mate.

what do you do about the feathers? How do you empty it out?
Where did you obtain the plucked rubbers from? Are they called something other than that?
I got them off eBay
I just typed in chicken plucker rubber and found them that way
Amazon has
Should I have to use a metal plate inside of it

Ashraf Sahul I direct wired the electricity to the motor and turn it on it constant power so spins when the plug is turned on
How do you drain the water and feathers out
It’s an old washer so the water drains easy as down the bottom of the tub but I just pick the feathers out by hand
@@OneMansWorld ok thanks
Where do the feathers end up?
We just take them out and put them in the compost
Do you have to physically reach in and pull the feathers out of the drum?
where can you find the rubber plugs?

You would need one that spins the drum mate
You may be able to screw the agitator to the drum if it is a free spin drum other then that mate I would have to see a pic
What kind of rubber you use
Sorry mate I found them on eBay
Beautiful. I'm just half way . I put more puckers on the bottom and a few on top. Hope it works. Do you put the chicken in hot water before you put it in the plucker? So straight on to the plucker once you kill it.
Yer I put it in hot water around 65 degrees c
Then into cold water then into the plucker
I'm impressed. You got the best bang for your buck. I want one so bad!
I wish I had double the spare parts I would have built you one they make plucking so much easier
Very cool! Do you suppose a pulley change to speed it up would be valuable?
Great! How long is the plucker rubber finger?
I think from memory they are 10 cm
What are those rubber nippes?
Pentti Koivisto I found them on eBay I typed in rubber chicken nipples and they popped up
Where does the feathers go
Hey mate they just sit at the bottom them I hand pull them out
Did it work?
Hey mate yer it was really good worked a treat and saved so much money
Hello, how can I get one
Great work buddy! whats the diameter of your drum?
Hi mate
I am unsure I can measure it and get back to you on that 👍👍
Great idea
I can't wait to condemn my old washer so wifey can give it up. Thanks hey
no worries at all seems a waste not to use it hey
That's really great!! I wish that I had one like that!!
Just got to do what ya can hey I love upcycling different things
Great video and great channel You should have more subscribers!
Thanks mate
Really appreciate the positive vibes cheers 👌👌
Where is the feathers going
hello my name is Korg and this is my chook plucker 🤣🤣 I am going to do this now though
Thanks for a no bs video
Excellent video. Thank you.
My pleasure
We have another video coming soon on a diy pig scrapper if you do your own hogs might be worth a watch 😀
Thats awesome man. Works exactly like if you bought a new machine!
Yer man it does I love how it worked out
Im going to make one the same as yours! Would make life so much easier instead of plucking
Yer that it does man saved me half a day
Was it tricky getting it to go after taking out the other gadgets and wires?
Nah man I direct wired from the motor to the plug so it goes as soon as the power is turned on
Good job
Thats awesome!!!
AMMON PHILLIPS cheers mate I love making use of trash in other ways
Excellent
Thank GOD for PUBLIX!!😂😂
Very nice.....
Thanks mate really enjoy up cycling
How can I get the plucker rubbers
No way did you get 100 plucking fingers for $12
Yer I searched eBay and a guy had them on sale
I thought i saw mcgregor 😆
I think your start/run capacitor needs to be replaced.
Yer I thought it would be something like that
Well you need to speed it up going to slow
Nah it worked perfectly
Glory to God Amin..//
