RE: (ET) Mower deck motor
My guess is 
the brushes on that motor are frozen.  It happens to old motors 
FREQUENTLY.  Free them up and it will spin.  Where is the rubbing 
at?

Hi,
    I'm trying to get my mower deck going and two of the 
three motors jumped right to life and leveled off with a nice hum. the third no 
so good, although spinning not near the RPM's of the other two.  Being a 
curious idiot I took it apart, the top bearing is in good shape there is some 
minor rust speckled though out the inside of the housing and the magnets are in 
tacked. There still seems to be some rubbing going on 
internally.  How much power do I apply to them for bench 
testing? Is there a schematic available for these?  Is there a lower 
bearing?  If so how do you get to it?  What is the proper gauge of the 
wire that is feeding the motor?  I'd appreciate any input, as these are 
antiques and I don't want to F* up any parts that can be 
fixed.  Thanks for the answers to my last posting (36v Charger) I'm 
learning everyday.
