97 fishmt, Birdhouse and all,
Well since last session, I've cut the unnecessary tachometer/ brake wires and put the motor back together and it works!! LOL
Like birdhouse described, it was necessary to "tap" the bearing back into position, no real problem. If your not familiar with the last statement, the rear bearing stays attached to the rear aluminum housing plate when the case is split apart enough to access and remove the brake assy. What you have when the motor is apart is that the front case half and armature is held in place along with the stator. The brake assy is screwed (Tight!!) to the rear housing over the coil! I had to use vise grips to break the Phillips screws loose then remove the (3) pieces of the actual brake parts. Don't for get to pull all the springs and spacers and put them aside. After that, I made sure the three 3 phase wires were placed back where I saw them on disassembly and cut the rest off close to the signal control socket.
Reassembly was straight forward. I put the black colored back half of the case, up against the front and put the (4) recessed screws in and tightened them somewhat. then went round the back and (following Birdhouses advice) used a socket and tapped the bearing back in enough to reseat the aluminum back plate that holds the rear bearing to the armature. You'll know when the bearing is seated because it will have a distinct metal upon metal sound when tapping and the aluminum plate will be reseated and back in place simultaneously. I Know that 2 of the 3 phases are working! My friend came in and said he would operate the 18V drill, as I was setting up the meter and putting the alligator clips attached to the meter, in place !!
Some where in this scientific process, he said I nodded and he pulled the trigger and------ I almost wet myself and was making ugly sounds !!! I finally got my cigarette lit, by clamping the lighter in the vice!!!! SHOOT!!
Have no idea what the RPMs were, but later on with the same set up, it slammed the peg pinning the meter hard on the 30 Volt Scale!! I think this motor will definitely charge batteries-- with no problem!!
enough for now,
Bill
