This week/today:
- Took apart the electric motor to degrease it. Years of ingesting dust & the occasional fine mist of hydraulic fluid meant quite a build-up of crud in there. It's the first time I've ever taken apart a large electric motor. Man these things are simple! It's great.
- Reassembled the motor, mounted it on the adapter plate and put the works back on the transmission. No pic of this - just look at the one of the cardboard motor and imagine a real motor in its place:
(Also imagine a slightly pulled back - 110 lbs motor + very awkward position for maneuvering it & I shouldn't have done it myself
)
Hopefully this week I'll have some news about the engine mount & right axle mount that need to be made up.
