I went out to the barn and dug out my spare New Idea lift motor
(baby, it's coo-old out there!)
However, I could see no markings anywhere on the motor. If there
were any there before I assume it was a rubber stamp on the outside
shell, and a light coat of rust has wiped out anything that was there.
It appears to be a standard permanent magnet design, and the end
bells look like it has roller bearings. I didn't take it apart, so
that is about all I know. Except it is completely different than
those I had on my GE tractors - even the gear box is different.
I didn't get any answers from anyone to explain the different lift
motor on the New Idea.
