Re: (ET) more snow thrower motor

I don't know if it could happen in this case, but I once had a similar 
problem because I accidentally rotated the brush assembly 180 degrees.  
Sounds like the straps would make that difficult, though.

I received 4-5 replies off list (trying not to embarrass me?) reminding me 
that you can't just reverse the 'end' connections on a series wound motor. 
Thanks all - pretty clear now that I think about it. The odd thing though 
is why it's going backwards. The amature connections are made by external 
straps going to the external connections for the field windings. To 
reverse the armature connections I guess I need to use jumper wires to 
criss-cross the armature connections. I'll give that a try.

Experience is a great teaching aid.

Thanks again,
