Does anyone have a source of a WH 370F 6-pole RTO traction motor? We had a catastrophic failure and I'm sure rewinding is gonna have a very high price tag.

Thanks,
Jamie

Jamie,

i suggest that you contact Donald Curry at the Seashore Trolley Museum. He has been working with a company called AC Electric that he says is first rate and perhaps he can help you.

And do not forget to talk to him and Danny Cohn about their surplus parts program. They might just have that motor you need.

Just to clarify things a bit, a Westinghouse 370F is a LARGE Diesel-electric traction motor, not a "trolley" or "interurban" motor.

Try SMS in South Jersey. Their cache of BLW parts may be the largest in North America.
