If I get that adventurous this tute will come in handy. Thanks:)

Bennett, do you rebuild them for other people? Could the motor be shipped to you to rebuild?

Thanks Bennett, I am going to give this a try I think. Right now I am so tired I can hardly move, Granny

Thanks so much for this information. I just posted a message about my 403A Singer with a sluggish motor and now I find your post. I'll have the DH help me take my motor apart and I'm sure your instructions and pix will be extremely helpful.

hanks for the great tutorial and pictures. I have a FR that has been sitting on the bench just waiting to redo the electric motor wiring and the cabinet. I will look at the motor with less fear now.

Thanks for the compliment, but that was only the second motor I've ever pulled apart! :) It's not really something I had considered before, since I really only know the self-taught basics. I feel like I've still got a lot to learn. I'd love to figure out how to rewire one if needed, things like that. The next one I break into is going to be for a 99 with the light wired in, so it should be another adventure.


I'm glad y'all have liked the tutorial. If anyone does clean a motor, I'd like to know how it worked out for you (good and bad).

Awesome. Thanks.

I have a few "parts" machines so I am going to check to see who would be a good candidate for a motor cleaning!! Thanks for the tute.

Thank you for doing this. I have a 15 clone that needs a motor overhaul. This should help a lot.:thumbup:
