Unit is MM2000
I was mowing over piles of leaves to mulch them. Got some sticks stuck and it stopped the motor. It started to smell so I stopped. The motor is much weaker now. I took off the cover and the brushes are an inch long. I sanded them as one had chips off the corners. I sprayed the motor with electrical cleaner. No change. So research led me to the idea that the rectifier might be damaged. It is not visible as mounted. I assume it is under the motor.
Looks like you have to remove the motor from the unit to get at the rectifier. Well I have it all taken down but it will not come off. It seems like there must be something holding it from below but there is nothing visible. there are 3 machine screws that are under the fan and one screw on top in front. Otherwise I see nothing holding it yet something obviously is. Anyone got ssome info or at least a repair manual?
Thank You
