@Jon G posted:It's a series wound motor. Power lead from the terminal strip to one brush holder, field wire to other brush holder, other field wire is staked to the field laminations (ground). Take the gearbox apart and ensure each individual shaft turns. You should be able to turn the motor by hand and watch the shaft turn. The pin on the shaft that keys the pulley typically slips out. Don't loose it. The spring on the motor pivot completes the ground (be sure it's there). If the belt slips, wrap the pulley with electrical friction tape.
Thank you, all is well except for my ribbon belt idea. Jim
