All the Shopsmith motors that I have serviced/repaired have aluminum alloy end plates. I have not had any success welding/brazing the broken legs on these motors. I have been using 1/4" X 20 X 3/8" helical inserts to repair/renew the stripped threads in these end plates.
Therefore, I am very interested in buying/obtaining broken, burnt, damaged and non-operational Shopsmith motors for their parts. I finally obtained my first burnt motor that I have seen in over a hundred motors. Please contact me off forum if interested or any questions.
