Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / October 2004Heater Motor on Ebay??
I need to replace both motors (heater and defroster) in the '55 Prez since I changed over to 12 volts. On ebay, there was this postion: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2495016209&rd=1&ss pagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT While it appears to be a possibility, I was taken aback when someone submitted a question of the compatibility of this motor which is supposed to be "new" and the seller replied that he didn't know as it came off a '62 Studebaker"... ????? Are the under the fender 12 volt generic motors available?  SignatureJT Just tooling through cyberspace in my ancient G4 Definitely looks used to me! Especially the heavy undercoating that is on it and smeared on the wires. I believe you can still get the correct motor from NAPA bud do not remember the part number. >I need to replace both motors (heater and defroster) in the '55 Prez >since I changed over to 12 volts.

Lee DeLaBarre Daytona62 From our website: ___________________________________ Replacement Heater Fan Blower Motor Is your blower motor not up to snuff? You could call Studebaker International and fork over $85 for a new one. Or you could check out NAPA Part Number 655-1025. It is listed for AMC and Jeep, 71-73 and fits perfectly. Better yet the cost is around $40. ___________________________________ Dave Miller I got the same heater blower motor here at NAPA for my 62 Lark. And yes, it did fit perfectly. The only difference:mine was only $23.99. And it works GREAT!!! Shawn Miller > I got the same heater blower motor here at NAPA for my 62 Lark. And yes, it did > fit perfectly.

Thank you sincerely from the bottom of my wallet... SignatureJT Just tooling through cyberspace in my ancient G4 That was my thought too but then, maybe the original motors were undercoated to protect 'em from all that tire splashin'... I think the better cure might to figure a way to house the motor/fan assy in the engine compartment instead but that would require a little engineering in the form of fabricating a housing.

He was in a panic. Seems some guy was standing next to him when he bought it and told after the sale that if its the wrong one it would turn the squirrel gage in the wrong direction. I do not know much about electronics, but a DC motor can be reversed by switching polarity right, so what was the panic? http://bondobilly.com/#stuff TAKE A LOOK AT THE NEW SHIRTS.....THEY ARE NEAT True, but the trick would be doing the reversing when the negative side is the motor case bolted to the inner fender. > About 5 Yorks ago there was a poor guy walking around the corral with a motor > in his hands, brand new, he had just paid $65 for it.

[quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >> http://bondobilly.com/#stuff >> TAKE A LOOK AT THE NEW SHIRTS.....THEY ARE NEAT You can reverse a series-wound DC motor, like the heater motors, by reversing the connections to the brushes OR to the field. One or the other other, not both. The construction of the individual motor usually dictates which reversal is easiest to perform. This is why series-wound motors run on AC as well as on DC. Their direction of rotation is determined by the relationship between the magnetic poles of the field vs the armature, and not by the direction of current flow.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > I do not know much about electronics, but a DC motor can be reversed by > switching polarity right, so what was the panic? Only certain motors reverse... For example, applying 12 volts to a six volt starter motor still turns in the same direction. SignatureJT Just tooling through cyberspace in my ancient G4 Yes, because unlike a pm motor the 6 volt starter motors use a stator winding to produce the magnetic field that the armature spins in and this field reverses when polarity is reversed, Joel >>About 5 Yorks ago there was a poor guy walking around the corral with a motor >>in his hands, brand new, he had just paid $65 for it.

Right now I've got just a big hole in the firewall that warm air drifts through. Winter is coming and I HATE being cold!

The motor and duct(s) are similar to later Larks as well. SignatureJT Just tooling through cyberspace in my ancient G4 I don't have the number handy, but it's a NAPA motor for a late '60s Jeep. >Anyone know if NAPA (or whoever) has a blower that will fit on a Champ >(or early Lark)?
