Motor was salvaged from a Quick Kart 2000 (walmart cart pusher) the original motor feed into a beefy transaxel. For whats left of the label on the motor, it looks to have been manufactured in 2004, by stetute electric inc. rated at 36VDC. 5 inches and weight around 30-35 pounds. Not sure what kind of amperage it can handle but it seems to be a quality built motor. I took it apart for cleaning and to check the brushes, not to much ware. I plan on repainting the casing, but we can cross that bridge when we get there.
