MOTOR
Removal
NOTE: In some vehicle configurations the transmission assembly will have
to be removed to allow clearance to remove the motor. Refer to
Transmission section for information on removing the
transmission assembly from the vehicle.
1. Make sure the key-switch is in the “OFF” position, then remove
the key.
2. Place the forward-reverse switch in the center “OFF” position.
3. Set the park brake.
4. Place blocks under the front wheels to prevent vehicle movement.
5. Disconnect the main positive and negative cables at the batteries.
6. Remove the motor wires from the motor.
HINT: Tag each wire with the number of the
terminal it was removed from.
7. Remove the bolts holding the motor to the
transmission housing (see illustration).
8. Slide the motor off of the transmission input shaft.
Installation
1. Remove the rubber bushing from inside of the motor
armature coupling.
2. Thoroughly clean all grease from the transmission
input shaft, rubber bushing and the motor armature
coupling.
3. Install the rubber bushing back into the motor
armature coupling.
4. Lightly grease the transmission input shaft only (see
caution below).
5. Install the motor in reverse order.
6. Torque the motor mounting bolts to 6-8 ft-lbs.
Do not apply grease to the armature coupler, rubber bushing or the
end of the transmission input shaft. Grease applied to these areas
may result in premature failure of the armature bearing.
