There are two brass-like mounts on the (type IIE) motor in my 602 Seaboard, or at least there used to be. These are the shafts that are swaged at one end (bottom side of the top plate) to secure the field to the top plate. They extend past the field and go thru the brush assembly, and have screw holes at the top end to secure the brush assembly (top o' the motor). I think these shafts may have different diameters where they pass thru the field assy and the brush assy.
Somewhere in my errant youth, I removed and lost both of them. They appear to be part of the field assembly, an item "Not Available" per Lionel. Any thoughts on where I might obtain two of them?
I stuck a couple of long screws down thru there to see if they would work, but they are crazy sloppy and allow the brush assy and field to move ALL OVER THE PLACE! I could get them aligned and secure, and if all else fails, that's the way I will go, but I'd rather have the correct parts
Help.....
Just saw a picture, so maybe they are not brass - bad memory. Another post in this forum has this pic
