Garry,
I'm not entirely sure what you are seeing with multiple wires. To the best of my knowledge the motor that came in the Silverado was the same as what came in the Olympia One. They were single-speed motors with a dual stage fan system. It should have had only two power wires, unless the extra ones you're seeing are the wires that go to the carbon brush holders? Here's a link to an eBay listing that shows some up close photos of a genuine 1505 Elux motor...hopefully that helps some! CLICK HERE TO GO TO s31463221's LINK on eBay |

never said their ball bearings were oil lubed...I said sintered bronze bushings were oiled. If one can't tell the difference between a grease packed ball bearing and a sintered bronze bushing, then maybe they shouldn't be working on small electric motors.

Yes to all of the above, which makes me glad I ordered another motor. Hopefully it'll be in better shape. |

reading this post, very informative. I have not worked on vacuum motors, but might in the future. I understand that there is a tool and procedure for "breaking in" new brushes. Thanks all. |
