If you paint that lead green, it will be backwards :D

I think it is a brush thing again. Did you use a little dielectric grease when you put the brushes in the last time?

Happy to help mate

Good job mate. Better keep the hammer in case it does it again. And don't loan it out again

The first thing I would try is an oil catch pan with a gallon of diesel and a parts cleaning brush

That would look much better with blue grease

You got it Wayne. It is a starter motor, only reversible.

Glad you got it apart. Certainly savable. Those things with the heavy copper wires on them are the brushes. That is what was stuck. The lower one in the pic does not look like it is making good...

yes

Is that all the bolts there are? Pics please

I will be here if you need advise. I would recommend removing the motor completely if you can. It should unbolt from the body. There will be a shaft that goes through the drum to the gear box on...

Wayne, those oar torx screws. Takes a torx bit for the ratchet. But you don't want to remove those. They hold the fields in. The end cap should be all you need to remove to access the brushes...

That is what my Mile Marker did. No drama. Kicked it around on the shop floor and threatened to take it apart and it started working again. Sticky brushes.

Sorry to be slow, wifey on the net. There is one other thing you can do. Take a little effen hammer and tap on the end of the motor. Sometimes the brushes can get stuck. If that doesn't work, you...

If you have an engine hoist that works. That is how I do mine. However I know that Bull Bar has to be heavy.

:DYou could paint it Barbie Pink

It does look like plumber brown.:D

Score!!:smiley-whacky084:
