Of course YMMV Bart.

I am a bit tentative about dis-assembling the motor. My track record in putting things back together and having them work again is not ... stellar ... that's why I'm not a mechanic
The manufacturer was bought out, or went under ... some time in the 1940's or 1950's (depending on your source) - so no joy on contacting them for parts.
I found a lot of issues with the wiring of the motor inside the 'conversion' I bought. So far, I'm trying to determine what the wiring SHOULD be so I can verify that it is running the wrong way for the transmission.
Thanks for the info - your solution is the least ... daunting .. so far.
