To make room for the extra brush spring I ground away some of the brush holder,
I hope there is enough metal left to hold the springs,
I also solved a serious wobble in the steering which had been plaguing me since February this year,
The last time I removed the traction motor I used a large hammer to drive out the armature from the bearing,
This was a big mistake because the hammer blows shifted the armature shaft towards the gearbox.
When the motor was reassembled I failed to notice the change in position, this forced the half shaft out 6mm causing it to hit the travel end stop.
Dammit.... I am just about to reassemble a motor that I have used ”some” force to get a part...
ReplyDeleteMaybe I have also moved something around…?
I do not really get it, was it the aluminum casing that was deformed making the whole axle to be shifted 6mm to the gear-box?

The shaft down the center of the armature is just a tight friction fit! If you hit it from the half shaft end you will drive it out.
