The motor parts ready to go back together. The repairer painted the field windings red when re-baking them. The motor now has a racing stripe. Hehe. |

The screws, nyloc nuts, and washers, are stainless steel. The screws are the same size as the screws used to attach the backplate to the outer drum. |

The old paint was stripped off (now that is a pleasant experience), KURUST to the rust, sanded and cleaned, then two coats of primer and two top coats. They came up quite well. |
