This will give you an idea when to start buying replacement parts like motors ahead of time and avoid being grounded awaiting delivery.

The motor comes with the brass drive gear and the filter capacitor. I replace the rotors gear and bearings when I replace motors.
It's cheap insurance and then everything in the drive system is new.
4 motors, 4 bearings, 4 rotor drive gears, Total cost about $92.00.... Peace of Mind...Priceless...

Also, I lube the main gears with light machine oil. Similar to the type used in air nailers. The gears will not wear as much and run smoothly causing the motors to not run as hot.

Cheers,
