[AT] 12V DC motor.

[Cecil Bearden]

I tried that, but the brush leads were not long enough and the wind with 
the 50degree temp and misting rain made me decide to find a new one..

I spent a couple of hours adapting an old ford starter motor to fit, then found it turned the wrong direction.  New motor was $254 with bracket and pulley.  A new motor on Ebay was $248, so I don't think it was too high.  Then I had to work on the outlet chute.  The metal is really think and due to the salt in the feed it is rusty..

>> Do you have the broken pieces? This may sound a little Rube Goldberg, but you can try gluing the pieces together using super glue. If there is enough room you can glue on some plastic reinforcement to the outside surfaces or give it a coating of epoxy. It may last long enough to get you through your work while trying to get a replacement.

Sometimes you can simply dry out the unit by separating it into its two main parts and baking them in an oven for a short while at a low temperature to remove any moisture. Then put it back together and test it on a bench. Don’t let the parts get too hot or you may damage the insulation on the wire and there’s no coming back from that. All you really want to do is try to remove any moisture.
