It turns out that the transmission is the same as a Geo Metro so they got the bearings and seals easily.
They are starting to put it back together today and I should have him back as early as Friday. He showed me the bad bearing which I will try and get some good pictures of and post them here. The ball bearings and the surfaces that they ride on were very pitted. I am not sure what caused the premature failure but when I get the bearing apart and inspect the wear pattern it should give me a clue. My guess is that it is excessive side loading of the bearing.
As soon as he is all back to normal I am going to get back on the trailer hitch installation, and wiring.
Great to hear that Mac will run again.
ReplyDeleteHi how many Triac were built in total
ReplyDeleteI was told about 10-15
DeleteWonder if your Triac is still running.
ReplyDeleteTriac is down at the moment. In the midle of another project before I can get back to it. I am planning on upgrading the motor and controller to one that actually works. The one they built with the triac's were very bad
DeleteNo my little girl is under restoration. Would like someone in the US to find the guy who bought all the spare parts.
