Re: (ET) Mower motors

[Jim Coate <jbc_lists_NO_REPLY coate org>]

I have many plenty of used ones, and few brand new shells (so new don't 
have flanges yet). Harold, Jon K, and others also usually have used ones 
from machines they strip for parts. And for a while at least Kansas Wind 
and maybe Harold had complete NOS motors. So I don't think there is any 
major worry of a shortage.

But if you are having many magnets break, the bigger issue might be if 
something else is wrong. Are the blades balanced? Armature good? does 
the shaft run true? Is the deck straight and crack-free? All fasteners 
nice and tight so no rattles?
