This wasn't a fun one at all but what must be done, must been done.
Defeat isn't in my vocabulary.

Thank You Sir.
It’s sucks I couldn’t record how I got those wires on. It was something else. I need to figure out an easier way. I have another exact motor so I’ll mess around with it to find the solution. I know there’s other Fellas out there that would love to see how it goes back together.
What do you think about the cabinet?
Matching Blue???

@@spiderlovesbeerohyeah4760 Yes Sir, go Blue 👍 It will all tie together. I figured that wiring would be a bear, for sure! Would love to 👀 how you did it too. that thing was “Smokin’”…….runs like a champ 👍👏

I just couldn’t get a good angle while filming. I tried but my head, shoulders or hands were blocking the view.
Ok so I’ll paint it Blue. Majority Rules around here. Y’all want Blue, so Blue it’ll be. I’m working on it now. Seems like a boring video so I’m not sure if I should upload it. Maybe I’ll just make I video when it’s all done. I didn’t realize how much rust is in there. I should start wearing a mask but I don’t think they make masks for Men 😎 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Looks great brother! I think you should paint the cabinet blue to match all of your antique Craftsman tools. I don't know if you have a Northern Tool store near you but i purchased a $15 4'x7' anti fatigue mat and used it for drawer liners in some of my cabinets. It's less than 1/4" thick and it works great. I'll be buying and using them from now on. It even has the fake diamond plate look to it and it would look great in your old cabinet

I don’t have that store around these parts but I like your idea. I’ll see what I can find. A mat would be great to eliminate any vibration. Thanks for letting me know.
