This is a potted motor stator coil with the original steel core, but cleaned and the winding wiring is new. The wiring leads can be cut back if needed, and you will have to remove your existing brass brush holder from your older motor and solder them to the new wiring provided, as well as soldering the power supply wiring. These are wound using the same specifications as the original motor. By purchasing, you agree to return your old stator coil to me.
