cut motor

Set the meter to the lowest ohm setting since you are expecting only 2 or 3 ohms. 0 - 10 ohm range?

Thanks Dan, going out side to tare it apart ... again

I'm still having this same issue, I tried to take the caps off to check the brushes, but the cap is stripped and can't get it off can some one give me an idea how to attack that... the screw head is stripped not the threads..

It cannot be completely striped, can it? Maybe you can grind a perfectly fitting blade to fit in what is left. A couple if light taps might also help to loosen it up.

Dan, I thought of a dremel tool with a cutting blade on it.

How about drilling two small holes? Bend a welding rod into a U shape (to go into the holes) and then lever against it.

Use the dremel to grind/cut a deeper slot into the cap for your screw driver.

...and, don't use a screwdriver. Use the edge of a coin or washer instead. Less likely to "mangle" the soft plastic slots.

Appears that now my cut motor has problems. I've checked it, cleaned it, brushes are good and don't see anything burned out. I also run the cut motor test and .......... nothin'. Does this sound like maybe the x board is shot? I think that's about all that's left right? I won't cuss cause it's not a good thing to do here on the forum, but *&^%&^%#^%$#^&%&%&^)(*&)(*&( !!!!

Measure the resistance of the cut motor. Should be a few ohms.
