cleaned up drive motor



I cleaned up the drive motor a bit.

Looks much nicer without all the grease on it.

Also, it looks to have a pretty normal driveshaft on it. The shaft is 7/8th" diameter with a standard channel groove. I was also able to remove the gear that was on there. Makes a neat paper-weight.

Not sure if this motor is big enough for the car motor or not though. Seems a little on the small side. It is almost 10" outside diameter, but not too long. It also looks like it has 4 brushes, whereas the big pump motor has 6.

However, this one should also be reversable, allowing me to get a Honda OR non-Honda and make the motor spin the correct direction.

As always, there are more new photos on my .Mac page, now on page 2
