There should be no connection between any commutator segment and the armature iron/shaft. There should be connections from segment to segment across the commutator. This can be checked carefully with an Ohm meter of high quality capable of measuring in small Ohm ranges less than one ohm. On opposite sides every pair should have very close to the same resistance. A "Growler" is of massive help. It is an elecrtical test device that uses magnetic fields to assure the electrical status of the windings. The armature should show no differences in winding color, or solder joints at the connections to the segments. There should be no scuffing or wear on the outside of the core laminations where the armature would roll if laid on a bench. The segments should all look the same, and be ungrooved around the circumference. Fields should be isolated from the frame and both should have the same very low resistance, If different, there may be internal shorts that make one have less resistance than the other. We are talking tenths of an ohm, not hundreds of ohms. Visual checks of the connection quality where the stud mounts is also worth while. Jim

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
