Don,
I meant the motor is not stuck (free)! I paid a little for it.
I pulled the flywheel and the original coils are cracked as expected. The impeller was broken but all the pieces were there.None of the screws show any signs of prior work. The exhaust leg is still shiny inside!
I would be surprised if this has run more than a few hours.
Oh, that makes sense… “Free” as is not stuck! Those rotten coils are a good sign, no one has messed with it, low hours. Wonder how the impeller broke, someone spun it backwards perhaps. Great to see all the pieces still there! Enjoy it, I’m envious for sure.
