I guy wants some help in putting this engine back together. We got the motor working, although, I don’t like the tension on the brush springs, seem to be weak…Is there a wiring diagram somewhere?? What about an exploded diagram??? Can anyone help here???

Thanks, Marty

Thanks alot fella’s, this helps alot…I printed it out for future reference. I still can’t see how the wheels transfer the power pick up to the motor. Must be not seeing something???

The right side of the motor should pick up power through the frame and uninsulated drivers, and I see the contact strip that goes from the left motor brush to the bulb, but I don’t see any wipers for the insulated drivers. Maybe there’s a missing pickup wire from the tender?
