72 forum posts 14 photos | Hi. The housing on my 1/6th HP Hoover motor is turning on it's rubber mounts. I mean can turn the housing by hand quite easily. In the picture, the center part "stamped "H" turns along with the ring surrounding it. That surrounding ring is hard, The ring encompasing that is the rubber ring. Rubber ring remains stationary. What's wrong? Thanks.

Is there any room for tightening the nut and bolt on the clamp arms - there looks to be a small space between their ends.. The movement in these resilient mounts should be within the rubber ring. |
