the 5 brush uses smaller brushes ---the 3 brush brush holder was sold as replacement for the 5 brush assembly -----some have cutout on the side---some have a bracket for slotted adjuster arm ----functionally same ---use one with commutator running true when running on it's own shaft, ---many have been turned off center causing the brushes bounce
