Some fantastic leads,, thanks all.

This reminds me of a story from many years ago. about 1980, At work we had our first ever computer, an Apple 2e with no hard drive. After several months a mouse got inside it ( mouses had not been invented then) and peed on the motherboard. We had over $3000 invested in this computer. I...

what in the world is a 500 hour electric motor check. I don't even have an hour meter installed on my gear pump. After changing brushers I would rather just change the whole electric motor if it has any age on it.
