AJAX and Hawekotte & Klausmann Motors
« on: June 20, 2025, 03:50:51 pm »
Few weeks back found these 2 beauties just a few miles from my house. I don't know much about the Hawekotte & Klausmann, but I know it is missing some parts! the Ajax was missing its brushes, so I made a set from some copper sheet. Runs like a treat! If anyone has leads on how or what parts the Hawekotte & Klausmann is missing, that would be greatly appreciated, if not I suspect I just gotta dig around!

It might not be missing anything.

The H&K motor looks to be complete.

Often, you need to replace the wire with new cloth wire.  If the bare wire contacts with the base, it will short out.

The motor will run on 6v DC.
