    sounds like armature failure

    were the brushes worn down? Is this the type with the brushes in a removable module on the back of the motor? If so have the pins located correctly into their sockets in the coils? Don’t want to state the obvious but is the belt tight?

    yes the brushes where dead. The module that holds the brushes was on correct i removed it three times every time i refitted it it would spin without a load but not with.
    The belt was also tight no movement after all those years
    i looked at the armeture there was no pieces missing !!
    THanks for the input though i was still there at 730 pm last night !!!

    if its the armature
    it does not need a piece missing just a damaged coil to oscillate instead of turn
    with no load motor will skip the faulty segment no problem but under load it wont
