Glad to see the normal shaft with the keyway!

When you talk to Jim about this motor, make sure to remind him what kind of performance & specs you're expecting. Whether or not he declares it a useful motor or not will depend on whether he thinks you're doing a 48-72v grocery getter, or a 120v highway machine. (He's used to talking to the high-power, high-speed boys, and it colours his thinking. Not disparaging him at all - he's an incredible guy for all he helps people!)

PS - when you say 4 brushes, do you mean 4 brush pairs?

PPS - FYI the male/female connector is commonly called an Anderson connector.
