Boss Buck Universal 12V Deer Feeder Motor – 1/4
Keep your feeder running without buying a whole new control unit — the Universal 12V Deer Feeder Motor with 1/4″ Shaft is a direct replacement motor built to restore power and reliability to your existing feeder setup.
This is a genuine 12 Volt PM DC motor delivering 1/35 horsepower, spinning at 2,942 RPM at 2 amps. It draws 4½ amps at startup and settles to a steady 3 amps while running, giving you the consistent torque needed to keep a spinner plate turning reliably feeding after feeding. The 1/4″ x 1″ shaft is a standard fit across a wide range of feeder brands and control units, and mounting studs spaced 2.36″ apart make swapping out a worn or burned-out motor a straightforward job without needing to replace your entire timer or control unit.
Whether your feeder’s original motor has finally given out after years of service, you’re troubleshooting a feeder that’s stopped spinning reliably, or you just want a dependable spare on hand before hunting season starts, this universal motor gives you a cost-effective way to get your feeder back in action without the expense of a full replacement kit.
Note: This is a replacement motor only. Timer, spinner plate, and mounting hardware for the timer bracket are sold separately unless otherwise specified.
