How to get motor apart?
2 Attachment(s)
Is there a secret to getting this type of motor apart? I've removed the long screw and the brushes already, but cannot for the life of me get this puppy apart. Do they come apart? lol

Thanks vmaniqui, but Rains tutorial doesn't tell me how to crack this motor open. Although, the motor in the tutorial seems to be the same type. The wiring I can deal with, I just can't get the motor apart to get to it! lol I'm just wondering if there is some trick of the trade to get these type motors apart...I sure would love to know the secret.

EDIT: I sit, corrected. You don't have to remove the metal things. http://mysewingmachineobsession.blog...221-motor.html . This is pretty comprehensive with good pictures. EDIT 2: I took frudemoo's 222 motor apart last week and it was pretty easy: There's probably a bit of rust holding it together. |
Nope manicmike, this came off my 66-16. This motor is bigger than my FW's motor. It has one long screw that goes through it, and the brush cape screws, that's all I can find. Not like the FW's motor.

Took the "other" lol screw out, and now at least it wiggles, but still gonna have to work with it tomorrow to get it apart. I LOVE this board! There's always someone to help you out! And manicmike I see you are in Australia :) you are already into Monday evening if I'm correct? I'm in Alabama and it's 4 in the morning here...I don't sleep much! :) Probably why I missed that other screw! ;) Thanks again!

When you get the thing apart, put some Singer grease or vaseline at each end. There might also be a little wide V piece of metal between the two halves. Last thing I found out was that to get the front part off, you have to *completely* remove the screw that holds the pulley on. |
Mike - I once flew from North America to Melbourne (via LA and Auckland and Sydney) first class. Dude. That was the most amazing experience -ever. The first class lounges in NZ and Syd had fabulous food buffets, showers, etc.
The customs people in Oz were second in crankiness only to the USA's crab-cake-customs-clerks. Aside from that, though, I must say how much I loved your country. Melbourne in particular. Wonderful place. |
