McCord power plate replacement motor? So now that it looks like McCord no longer makes or sells the power plate, has anyone found a source for a replacement motor? One of my cutouts has seized up again.
Pull it, disassemble and grease its shaft and gearbox
if you can. It's a moving part in an unpleasant place.
Mine got sticky a while back, and a little assembly lube
in the butterfly shaft bore was all it wanted. But the
motor gearbox screws have already corroded in place
and I didn't get into that. I got another nonfunctional
unit for cheap that had failed, and took it apart - dry
as a bone in the gearhead and all worn out.
Cutouts want interval service like anything else. Just
nobody tells you (as if we read instructions anyway).

That's probably a good call. Thanks. If the motor is indeed dead, Ill see if i can grab a part number off the motor itself and source a replacement online.
