Re: 6 volt electric motor repair
It might be just as cost effective to replace the motor. Can you share pics?

Re: 6 volt electric motor repair
Sal,
Suggest you add your general location to your profile so you get local repair services. Post what kind of heater you have (is it an ARVIN?) and maybe someone will know a motor that fits and is available. Plus pictures would be useful. Charlie Stephens |

Re: 6 volt electric motor repair
Mine needed the wires replaced but the most difficult part was removing the squirrel cage fan from the motor shaft. Had to use a propane torch and lots of Liquid Wrench.

Re: 6 volt electric motor repair
C&G 800-266-0470 has them in their catalog. About $80, a fair price and probably less than having it rebuilt.

Re: 6 volt electric motor repair
In my local area the motor repair people laugh at motors smaller than 2hp.
My HF might work but don't know your year/car. Last item on my 12v conversion I'm facing removal of my 6v heater fan to get access for shaft measurement of diameter/length. Some Mustang fans reportedly work. But I must remove the car's engine to get close to the thing from inside the engine bay. Before you choke, I'm going to remove the engine for replacement anyway. Unless someone kindly shares shaft diameter and length. '50M |

Re: 6 volt electric motor repair
As supereal notes above C&G sells a replacement 6 volt that I used in my '47. I had to cut the shaft a bit, but otherwise it was a direct replacement for the original. Works really well. Not sure why my original quit....worked fine before I removed the heater to rebuild the engine and transmission, but when I put it back in the car....nothing!!! (Must have been the heater gremlins in my storage box???

Re: 6 volt electric motor repair
Napa sells a 6 volt motor, #655-1021, for about $36 USD. Worked great for my 3 door heater.

Re: 6 volt electric motor repair
Thank You all for the replies, tried C&G they said these motors are discontinued. Got to pick up Hemmings and find a rebuilder unless any one knows one.

Re: 6 volt electric motor repair
I think that you'll find that the motors tha C&G carry are only the 2 wire variety so will work in Ford heaters but will not change direction the same way as the 4 wire Motors do i.e. by reversing the field winding polarity.

Re: 6 volt electric motor repair
You are correct, they are two wire motors. I could not find a reversing 6 volt in the right size.
