Keep an eye on the lift motor. If it starts to shoot sparks when running, replace the brushes and stone the armature flat. The brush you showed removed in your picture seems to be pretty rough. A set of brushes is cheap insurance to protect the motor. Good luck!

It's the end where your positive meter lead is in the above photo. There should be some type of screw arrangement holding the 2 band section together on the side we can't see.

Looks like an EE motor,with the covers and all. Remove the cover on the commutator end to see if the brushes are hung up in the holders. The brushes could be stuck from sitting around. This tends to happen with EE trucks because the dust created by the brushes can't get out easily. Removing...

Industrial batteries are rated for a maximum of 80% discharge over a 6 hour period. With an 850AH battery, you will need a minimum 680AH charger to effectively charge the battery in 6 hours. If charging time is not a factor, there are small chargers made in all output voltages that will charge...

Does the engine slow down with the load from trying to turn the differential? If so, it would indicate the clutch pack is working correctly and the differential is locked up or the pinion is seized. If the engine doesn't slow down, it would indicate the drive gear on the pinion is turning...

The condenser is a good place to start. Either Saturn or Delk's should have the parts.

I'm not familiar with the Slick mag since mine is a Fairbanks Morse, but they must work the same way. I don't remember having to turn the impulse coupling CCW after coming up to #1 on the mag. I was having the same type of issue as you when I decided to remove the front cover to verify all the...

See a post titled 4A084 Engine Help. It describes the procedure for installing the magneto correctly.
