Loose front bearing slot on Neu motor

[The Dan]

I tested the motor again without doing anything to remedy the bearing problem, and holy crap did it sound bad. Far worse than before, even! It wasn't as fast, either. It's honestly baffling to me as to what may have caused this; I never recall the motor climbing over the 160dF mark. I'd always had the front screw holes sealed with electrical tape, and I'd never opened the motor.

Since I wasn't worried about salvaging it, I decided to glue both bearings into their slots to see if that would help at all. The glued made a strong bond and eliminated the play altogether. But the motor ran no better than before. This time, I opened it up from the back and took a look inside. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, except a couple loose metal flakes from where the screws that hold the back on had been drilled out. The glued-in bearings were both as solidly anchored as before.

So I guess we can wrap this up by saying:
-Sorry the motor turned out bad, otherwise you would have gotten a good deal, superek4.
-Next motor I'm gunna get will be the MMM 2200.
