(ET) hot motor

[Neil Dennis <wombatt gmail com>]

Lets see if this one bounces !!

I just pulled one of the mower motors from the JD, it was running "weak" 
andgot hot enough to burn off one of the motor terminal wires at the 
chassis connector [;-[   It seems to spin over ok by hand, I put in a 
new lower bearing this spring (the old one was getting noisy) and hope I 
got it together right - it has been running weak since then but sees to 
by slowly dying.
 Any thoughts as to what I could look for or what i may have screwed 
up, it had been ok before the teardown.
