Quite correct…the e-mail address does not show.
My PM feature hasn’t worked for several years - I can receive messages from others, but cannot reply to them. If you’ve sent me a PM, and not received a response, I’m not being rude, but simply prevented from replying.

I did see your PM and sent you an email.

How did you eliminate that strip #84107 of metal? It holds the spring and brush in the motor.
EDIT My mistake. The above #84107 should be #84017.
I don’t think he is talking about the 84107 piece.
The piece he’s talking about is not shown. He’s talking about the connector clip, 45016, shown on the SD40-2 part diagram he posted.
Aren’t they phosphor bronze?
Yes.

I didn’t replace the #84107, I replaced the connector strip, #45016, in the parts diagram of the SD40-2, with 28ga wire, soldering the wire onto the #84107, one to the front truck, and one to the rear truck.

Yes replacing that connector clip #45016 was one of the first things done to the BB locos before it was put in continuous run duty.
I would remove the assembly clip #84017 from the motor before soldering the wires to it so I would not heat up the brush spring.
Sorry guys, I transposed the numbers 84107 for 84017 in one of my above post. Dang eyes. I had cataract surgery in Dec. and Jan. and lazered the left on May 5th afterwards. It’s still not correct in the left eye.[sigh] May be corrected in 10 days now.[yeah]
Hello all.What kind of gauge wire is on the Athearn Genesis Ho SD70ACe?
