Hey,
I have most of the electrical goodies out of two 36v Caterpillar
forklifts. Including the huge series drive motors (14" 240 lbs ??) and
the hydraulic pump motors which seem to be compound wound (series AND
shunt). I don't know what to do with these. My health won't support
any heavy or long term projects, and I am partial to AC induction motors
anyway. I'm kind of just looking for a good home for them. They are
pretty dirty but I think functional. I am in Iowa, if anyone is
interested e-mail me and we can see what to do.

Or scout local "Craigslist" for scrap forklifts?
Or visit a forklift maintenance place to see if
they have a used motor for sale?
Possibly EV tradin Post?

Subject: [EVDL] Old GE 9" motor source ideas?
Hi all - in the midst of an Electravan reboot project and have found out
that the armature is fried on the current motor. Had hoped it was just
a
brush replacement but oh wow, you should have seen the windings and junk
falling out from the bell housing when we pulled it apart.
Would ideally like to attempt to source one of these old motors before
looking into a Warp 9 or other modern replacement, since the adapter
plate
and everything is still perfectly usable. And it wasn't a half bad
motor,
when not abused!
Does anyone have any ideas for where one of these old beasts might be
sitting around? Or contacts that might know?
It's model no 5BT1346B38
apparently GE donated quite a few to schools and universities for
research
projects, in addition to it's duty as a forklift motor or whatever it
was.
Thanks for any tips.
