Update:
The 2 original non-geared wheels were in such poor condition that they pulled off the axles without needing any "puller"- type tool. 🙂
The "direction disc" is missing, so I wired it together just so the motor can be tested. It runs "okay", but there is a "chattering" sound I haven't been able to find the source of. I've had it apart numerous times but just can't figure it out. Removed a little bit of brass from the brush tubes, just to make sure there's no chance of them contacting the armature.
Am putting together a parts order for Hennings...👍
Now that I've had a chance to really see how a "Super Motor" is assembled, I have to say that they couldn't be simpler or more user friendly. Good on the designers who dreamt up these things...
