I still think you guys are misreading the condition of the unit. How could the bushing possibly have come off with the gear still in place?

Thinking ahead, has anyone figured out how to get the wheels back on again? That will not be easy since the rods do not come off.

I will shut up now and wish everyone the best of luck, while mourning the inevitable loss of a rare motor.

Aww you take all the fun out of tearing stuff apart !  

But seriously, a drill press vise and some wooden or aluminum blocks double stick taped to the wheel centers should work to

press them back together, especially since the holes are blind ( should be easy to get the gauge right )

With the axles quartered at 10:30 on one side and 7:30 on the other the axle centers should be clear for the blocks.

With the armature shaft hammered and bent on the ends like they are, I doubt it would spin anywhere near true enough to

actually run as it is right now, even if the bushing were in place.
