How effortlessly the air chisel opens the both rusted ends of the motor. I will remember that trick!

Oh yes, it is a lifesaver on these projects!

Awesome find! You will have it up and running in no time.

Thank you!

Awesome! Better you get it than a copper scrapper!

just saw your FB post about this thing, and found the entire process is already on YT! i got some tinkering of my own to do today, and this is a great companion to keep me entertained. the initial state of thing looks so hopeless, yet somehow you see potential, and get right to it. again, i commend your efforts, sir.

Thanks! I started the project with the idea that it could either work or not. Regardless of whether or not it worked, I had set out to learn from it and proceed with the video series; regardless of the outcome.

Excellent teardown video

Thank you!

Somehow the series started me at #5, and i had to work backward. Final result looks and sounds great!

That is frustrating. Leave it to the KZread algorithm to get things backwards.

Enjoyable video. Thanks!

When you got that end cap off it didn't take a lot of imagination to picture it sitting on the deck of the Titanic... lol

That is a good way to describe it!

Just started watching the series, looking forward to how it turns out, I have no doubts in your ability to get something like that going ! I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone else use one of those “manual” impact drivers on KZread. I have one that I actually restored (literally found lying in the dirt) and it works an absolute treat to undo most stubborn rusty screws haha.

Thanks for the comment! It's great that you found and restored an impact driver. I use that all the time as well.

Wow that things rough! Gunna be neat to see you bring it back to life though!

getting that first fastener loose with the impact driver was miracle n°1. reminded me of my days as a bike mechanic, where we'd get 50cc scooters in for their first annual service, and so many fasteners would be so corroded the heads just sheared off. not even talking about the exhaust and cylinder bolts, which rust and seize often because of heating and cooling cycles, but EVERY fastener. and those didn't spend decades in the woods, just one year on Dutch roads, one winter at most. for some brands we'd strip the brand new scooters down completely before selling them, applying copper grease and heat resistant grease where necessary) long boring story, but seeing that thing come undone was baffling when compared to my experience with newer machines.

Thanks for the comment! I think the thread pitch and the very short thread engagement allowed this to come apart. This is a 10-32 (imperial) bolt, with only about 5 or 6 mm of thread engagement into the motor housing. Had it had deeper thread engagement, it would have sheared the head off! Does the highway department use ice-melting agent on the roads in The Netherlands? That stuff is insanely destructive to all sort of parts.

@@davida1hiwaaynet @davida1hiwaaynet yes, it does. ordinary natrium chloride, salt basically, but far less pure than kitchensalt. it will eat aluminium, seize spokes in their threads, strip any finish, and steals the lubricant from your chain. that and chapped lips.

I might have to steal that idea of using an air chisel to split motors apart, I might try to make a brass end for one of my worn hammer ends to avoid damage.

Definitely a very useful tool. Would be good to have a brass end. You can see the small damage it caused to the end bells in the video.

I've seen a few Delco motors myself but never one like this.

Thanks! It's a very early example for sure. This style Delco were sold for fridge compressors toward the end of the belt drive era, once the repulsion-induction motors were being phased out.
