It might be cheaper to treadle it than to fix the motor. Someone pm'd me and we got a 411G treadling with a spinning wheel belt - it needs a bushing or something to space the wheel. The other possibility would be to sell it to someone who would love to treadle it and then buy a 401 in good shape for what you can get out of it. Those 401Gs are not very common so should be worth a little bit more than a 401a with a good motor.
