PAZGRR7315 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Have a CN F7 AA with power unit front truck motor failure. Anyone with a spare motor for replacement? MTH, etc. no replies--or not available... Truck dissasembly down to motor, power applied rear power truck is a go; front is stuck, can spin with finger and it goes at all speeds until stopped. Is this a bearing shaft failure, if so, anyone with a fix? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown7713 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I assume this is an MTH one gauge? I think this is the correct motor, if it is, you are welcome to it. It is new. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginear joe Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 You should always contact Ray to see if he could get the parts. I haven't been inside my F series that I remember anyways. I read of motor failures yet I've never had any of mine fail yet? My used GG1 had a loose motor mount that threw me for a bit until I discovered it was loose. I tightened it, and she has run fine ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Hi, thank you on the recommendation on the part Joe. On this one I am currently out of stock (an MTH is also due to an inventory count issue) (I've given the head parts guy a heads up that they need to get more of these ordered) GRR7315: Are you saying that you can get the motor spinning under electric power but as soon as you apply friction with your finger it stops? Is it running intermittent or just seems extremely weak? If very weak then I would replace it and take Robert's very kind offer on his motor.

rbrown7713 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I sent GRR7315 a private message for his address, but I have no answer as of yet. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAZGRR7315 Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 eMail'd address; thanks--I appreciate this. Now if anyone has Santa Fe Warbonnet cabs to swap... *also, Ray when power is applied to the engine, the 'rear truck' begins spinning -- frnt is dead; when I applied finger pressure to spin the exposed gear, it will begin to operate like it should. All speeds, both directions, however, when I slow to a stop--it will not spin either direction-until finger push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAZGRR7315 Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 Ray, I am the one that contacted you by eMail for a motor' you did respond "none in stock"; I also mentioned a 'motor' to MTH staff on Wednesday before the opening Thursday York TCA. Head parts guy I believe, but they were wheeling in material for setup. E'mailed MTH thru the website -- "NO" reply, as of this date. So it is a "NO" saw-wa-dee-cop to Mike... Good morning (day) to Mike in Thai language... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAZGRR7315 Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 rbrown, my Subway sandwich arrived! I thank you, will be installing as soon as I get the tomatoes and sweet peppers planted... the front porch & deck washed... looks like rain soon here in NEPA; that will pave the way for an indoor project.

rbrown7713 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I am happy to hear that and I am sure that that motor will run smoothly. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
