C W Burfle posted:Lube done and redone. As I commented below, I too have noticed that end play can be critical on these motors. Sadly, on the 602 there is no setscrew to adjust, strictly thrust washers. I try to get the absolute minimum amount of end play, but that's a variable when it comes to these motors.
I'd think that a Modern era brush plate with a set screw on top would fit.
That's an interesting thought. I have some here that are currently in service, and nice and quiet. Guess I'll have to rob Santa Fe to pay Seaboard - that is the old saying, right? Thanks, good suggestion.
