possible problem?

[woodchip]

While lubing the flexshaft, I noticed there wasn't a lot of resistance when spun by hand. Does mean my cutting motor will be going out soon? I hope this doesn't sound like a stupid question.

When was the last time you changed your cut motor brushes? Shot in the dark...

[woodchip]

can't lie, NEVER

[lawrence]

how many hours on your cut motor? About 250 seems the norm to change them out

this doesn't seem correct, it said 19hr 22 min. does this reading come from the control panel? I wonder because I chanced out this panel with my new machine and sent the other back to be repaired.

The Cut Hours Meter should be stored in the Computer... But I have been VERY wrong a few times with stuff like that...

Good Question Connie?

Didnt realize it was that new. Hmmm.

[woodchip]

Its not really that new, I've used it about 1 yr or so. Al are those the brushes I will need and is it possible to change them without removing the motor?

Nope,,,, Gotta take the motor out ......

And by the way there won't be a lot of resistance in the motor ... So if it runs good, go with it ... Next time U order any parts have a set or 2 of brushes thrown in ...
