Hi Kevin,
I would appreciate the details of the PV50 motor.Do you know where
to obtain a replacement?
I also have some spare blades but they are not matched to my hub, therefore ,if
I needed to use them I would need to carry out some serious balancing.
If you succeed in manufacturing the drive screw and nut you may find that there
are some potential customers out here!
Cheers Ken.

Hi Ken,
I have details of the motor / gear head / bearing / brass thread. I'm
in the process of getting the bearing and thread mount turned part made
tomorrow.
I have had mine for 14 years and it's proved to be a good piece of kit.
I haven't looked into blades yet as I have a spare set.
Regards
Kevin G-Kev

ie unsolder the two wire, and with a pair of grips turn and unscrew the motor
