Re: (ET) mower motor assy ?

[Ben Griffith <griffithba gmail com>]

They should both fit snugly on the shaft, so it sounds like the larger one you have won't work.  That one sometimes gets cut off in order to make room for a puller to remove the blade hub.  Jim C of http://electrictractorstore.com/ almost certainly has them, even though they're not listed on the site.

The seals on mine don't stay put... they work their way down to the hub, so I'd suggest a dab of gasket adhesive or something like that when you put things back together.

OK, I have the upper seal, which fits in the recess.  Is the lower seal 1/4" or so larger in diameter than the upper?  I have one that size but note that it's ID is considerably larger than the armature shaft.  Is that correct?

Thanks.

When I rebuilt my mower motors, I found the remains of the upper motor seal stuck to the bottom of the lower bearing. You will find it when you pull the armature and bearing assembly out  and pull the bearing. With the old grass clippings and stuff it looks like part of the bearing.

I'm rebuilding one of my 4.5" motors.  In the Service Manual exploded picture they show  a moisture seal (upper) and a moisture seal (lower).  I only found one seal when I took this apart--the one between the shell and the blade hub (lower?).  Should there be an upper and where does it go?

Thanks.
