When I posted #1, I was really upset that TP Tools didn't agree to do something. I would have been temporarily appeased if they had said, "We'll try to get Champion to do something, and if they don't, we will do something. I don't know what, but we will do something." Instead they left it with they would contact Champion. As it turned out, They were able to convince Champion to do the right thing.
Truer words were never spoken.
I was going to if TP Tools had failed.
He told me that he hasn't re-wound a motor for several years. It is very labor intensive, and few people want it done.
I am glad I stopped short of totally bad mouthing TP Tools, since they at least helped. Although I will admit that was a little harder on them than I should have been. A new motor was going to be about $550 - $600. So I will be thankful to both TP Tools and Champion. The electric motor repair guy told me that for only about a hundred dollars he could go through the new motor and do a few things that could greatly extend its longevity.
