I recently acquired a known-good (I think) BT3000 motor from a local fellow who was parting out his saw.
Some time ago, I got a defective motor off this forum (didn't know it at the time
) with a good motor pulley bracket.
While attempting to marry the good parts to get a motor for my Frankensaw project, I noticed that there is a dust shield on the donor motor. It does not fit the new motor housing. Checking the parts drawing for both the 3000 and the 3100, I noticed that neither have this shield on the drawings.
Anybody else notice this anomaly?
The motor on the right is the donor with the shield.
