Video of the new motor running. Talked myself into it, going to pull the trigger and be done.
I've spent more $$ than this motor costs chasing this issue, and in the time it's taken me I could have earned enough money to buy four of these motors.
I should be able to resell known good parts off the old motor and recoup some of the cost.
Thanks everyone.
