400 deg was not a real scientific numBer on my part. Amechanical engineer friend told me to get it that hot.
Also, the trip from oven to spindle was less than 60 seconds
I contacted Power Trac and a White dealer to discuss having a couple of my 422 motors resealed. Power Trac would not give me a real price but to put in a seal kit and nothing else sounded like $100.00 plus shipping. An inquiry about what a new motor cost yielded $400.00. I did not like these options. The White dealer told me these motors inexpensive and not worth repair unless you do it yourself. He said a seal kit would be $40.00 labor $100.00 and most likely I would need a new shaft and that would add $80.00. Seems the main cause of leaks is wear of the shaft around the seal. Repair would cost $200.00 a motor for them to do it. A new motor is $249.78. Decision made! BTW the motor number is f3013zaaaa.
