Very Sad Day for the 56 Mobile Maid

[turquoisedude]

Eddie,

I didn't get to test the motor itself on the weekend - I got a little scared by the four wires coming out of the motor and I didn't want to risk damaging it. I am travelling this week, but I managed to get a picture of the wiring diagram of the Princess and I will post it with a request for advice probably sometime tomorrow.
Sorry about the delay, but I haven't forgotten!

Check this out Guys

I just recieved the motor that the shop couldn't get apart. Just look how they sent it back and notice the bent screws. I certainly would not ever recommened these guys again.Feh !!!!

Feh

I just can't believe they would do this. I certainly did not pay for this.

Hey Paul,

Once I get John to look at this mess, I might be very interested in taking that Princess Motor off your hands. What a mess. Thanks guys for all your help. Now for Plan B and C and D and E ....

AAAAARGH!

I can't believe what they did to that poor motor...
I had a short weekend this past one so I didn't actually hook up the Princess motor - I swear that I'll do it this week and let you know.
Seeing these pix, though, I am now nervous about trying to extract it - but I am sure that I'll figure it out somehow!
Hang in there!!

A south Bend Lathe, 2 collets and some heat

Around here, when we need to disassemble a press fit solenoid we chuck up one end in the driven collet, the other end in the stock holder collet, and then turn the screw to pull them apart.

Perhaps something like that would work for your assembly, plus a little differential thermal expansion to pop the brass loose from the motor shaft.

See if a machine shop has an old south bend lathe to do this.
