I've had that happen before too (12v & main contactor). I always carry a jumper though, so I can drive with no accessory battery (or lights, signals, ...)

Glad the motor arrived!

I remember going through the same thought process, minus the actual research. If it's any consolation, the wee shaft has not yet twisted off as a result of the ForkenSwift's massive torque.
But a beefy new shaft would be nice. It's too bad there were no tailshafts on these motors, because we could have just used those.
