Hi all - in the midst of an Electravan reboot project and have found out that the armature is fried on the current motor. Had hoped it was just a brush replacement but oh wow, you should have seen the windings and junk falling out from the bell housing when we pulled it apart.
Would ideally like to attempt to source one of these old motors before looking into a Warp 9 or other modern replacement, since the adapter plate and everything is still perfectly usable. And it wasn't a half bad motor, when not abused! Does anyone have any ideas for where one of these old beasts might be sitting around? Or contacts that might know? It's model no 5BT1346B38 apparently GE donated quite a few to schools and universities for research projects, in addition to it's duty as a forklift motor or whatever it was. Thanks for any tips. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
