I recently won a number of Weeden Electric motors and I am fairly certain one of the motors is missing at least one of its brushes.  So as I wait for the motors to arrive, I do what I do and try to find all anything I can about the missing part!

While the brushes are pretty simple and I have other motors to guide me, it is nice to have a template and I actually find a site that refers to this task. Please click here for Brooke's page: Weeden Motor, Brooke Clarke, 2007. Many Thanks for to Brooke for documenting what he learned, making it available on his site and allowing me to share his PDF Template!

With Brook's permission I have attached his PDF.  He did sale a Phosphor Bronze Brush Kit but he has misplaced his Phosphor Bronze.  I'll likely pick up some 0.01 Phosphor Bronze from McMaster-Carr once I know for sure I do need to make a brush and it will get that motor running.
