Todays Project - What did you do today?

[Mayhem]

Forgot to post this yesterday after pulling the motor apart on my horizontal bandsaw.  The bearings are shot and this is the reason for the strip down.  However, the state of the windings is somewhat concerning.  

   

I'm not sure why the aluminium (I'm guessing its aluminium) bits poking out of the top of the stator look like they do?

   

At this stage, given the cost of bearings, I am going to put in some new ones and slap it together and run it until the magic smoke escapes or however it wishes to take itself out of this world.  

Then I'll chase down a replacement...
