Re: (ET) Springs on the tiller

[Chris Zach <czach computer org>]

Ah. How does that hook up; to the back pin of the lift perhaps? This 
might explain why my motor had one of it's three bolts broken.

Speaking of which, I've found that if I put the motor in the freezer, 
then fire it up, it works fine in both directions. As it warms up though 
it goes down the drain. Definate field short. I'm toying with the idea 
of freezing it, flooding the field coils with POR-15, then letting it 
dry and (hopefully) insulate the field again.

Worth a shot :-)
