Re: (ET) Mower motor restoration

Kevin,

Why not get the bearings replaced on the original motor? Pretty much any 
electric motor rebuild shop will do the work.

Has anyone out there had to deal with a magnetless mower motor.  The 
bearings 
in one of my motors have gotten "stiff", so I pulled out the "spare" motor 
purchased with my mower deck and found out moments ago when I disassembled 
it 
to check the brushes that the magnets are missing!  Doah!

Any suggestions?  Anybody thought of gluing a series of neodymium magnets 
in 
to replace lost or broken magnets?  (Hair-brained suggestion #1 from me)
