I have an older BT3000 (December of '95 is what's shown on my plate) that the elevation threads just stripped out on. In the process of disassembling the motor bracket from the motor itself, I damaged the brushes of the motor (don't ask!). I've checked the usual sites for Ryobi parts and it doesn't seem that I can purchase brushes for this motor anymore. Keep in mind, I have the motor shown below:
Diagram of Old Motor
The brushes are shown as #19. I found that particular drawing on the Sears parts website. According to the site, they no longer sell the brush assembly (P/N 612567-005). Here is a link to the motor I believe more commonly seen on the BT3000.
Diagram of New Motor
The brush assembly here is #16 and P/N 4540007.
Are these brushes interchangeable? I don't have any experience with brushes. Can I get something at a local hardware store that will work or do I have to take this to an electric motor repair shop? Please help if you can. Thanks!
