My 240v compressor and 2 post lift do not have a neutral so the white wire is used for hot on a 3 conductor as that wire size wasn't available in black/red/ground. I did wrap the other end with black electrical tape to indicate it is used as a hot.
There are no black wires going into the neutral buss bar.
There is also a neutral bus bar next to the breakers on both sides.

Wrap those wires with red or black tape to the inside edge of the box. Other end should match also. If there was a fire and your insurance saw it like it is, they will try everything to not cover the claim. If you don't have insurance on it, no worries then.

Its like a horror film!
So much good stuff there!
Is this what they mean by “Moss-Green” ?
Sure looks like honey bucket hill. Did they cancel their IG account?
What's up with the blue scout
Ok so I am definitely NOT and electrician, but anytime I've ever wired anything as 220 with 3 conductors, I use the black and red as the hot wires. I thought that was the proper way?
You can use any colors, as long as they are correct color wrapped at both ends.
I always spend the money for correct colors. In 50 years, the tape may have come off. I will be dead, but will still feel bad if someone didn't know and got zapped.

Black, red and green. Not white.
We just redid some wiring on my pump house and the shop. This place is built in the 70s and it’s a two wire 220 where they used the ground wire for neutral. Apparently that was legal back in the day and my buddy who is an electrician said it’s not a fire hazard it’s just a shock hazard for the electrician.
I thought neutral should be white and ground should be green, or bare. And that within the last 30 years or so, the ground circuit came along for the 220 stuff that uses a 4-terminal receptacle. Prior to that was black and red for hot, then white for neutral? Or anything with only 3 terminals in the receptacle?
I haven't burned the barns or shop down, thankfully. Yet.

How much of that treasure trove is coming back to your farm?

I counted nine Squarebodies that I am going to try and work a deal on. None of them have titles, so they will be for parts only most likely.
Are titles hard to get up there?
