Re: New Power Station Motor Or Fix It

Since SS says no lubrication required, could it be that the manufacturer used (universal) end caps that have "oil holes" that are not used in this application? I t makes no sense that they are 90° off set if they are intended to be used. Also oil holes have a spring loaded caps over them ...

I just noticed that the end caps have been manufactured with a location where oil cups could have been. I also noticed that if oil cups had been installed they would be offset from one another by 90 degrees. This forced be to check the power stations. They too are offset. I must assume that this cha...

Re: New Power Station Motor Or Fix It

Re: New Power Station Motor Or Fix It

There is one image of the motor windings that might show evidence of a short in the windings. Can't tell for sure. However, the rest of the motor does not look bad. When you say seized up do you mean physically can not be turned. With no power applied you should be able to spin the shaft. If you can...

If you plan to put Ryobi bars on a Mark, study the potential impact of the bars on the ability to put the Mark in drill press mode. Depending on the specific installation, there may be a problem (maybe).
