Title: 611 motor
Post by: kehrer34 on April 23, 2019, 09:47:26 AM
I have an older version of the NW 611.  Probably 15+ years old with a motor that has died.  Looking on the parts catalog, will the motor shown work with my older 611?  Thanks in advance and running just DC.

If yours is the old yellow box version, the motors are completely different.

Thanks for help.  Much appreciated.  Not sure what to do now.

I'd be surprised if you could get it to run even with a new motor. The nylon gears in those old J's are notoriously prone to shrinking and cracking over time.
