With the covers removed I have access to the brushes and sight of the commutator..
These springs that hold the brushes down were fairly interesting.. held in place by a little tab, and push it down and out and it pops out, giving access to...
The brushes.
Some (12?) bolts on the bellhousing allowed me to pull the motor out. I thought it would have let go of the bellhousing, but upon pulling that out pulled..
The motor!
The case with internal stator coils.
Great progress so far.. now I need move everything to cook dinner.. Beyond that, I need to really look at the motor more.. because it almost seems like there are no coils in it, just copper bars, which strikes me as odd... Sure, it can take the most current.. I just was not expecting this.. as I said, I need to take a closer look.. and then also at the stators because it may be a coil of bar..
I am not disappointed, but I do like the idea of more voltage through turns of wire, versus more current with bigger wires.
Interesting..
