Hi all,

Power steering and hydraulics fine, no traction.

Both direction contractors close when monotrol pedal is pressed, all fuses removed and checked as I know these siba fuses can often look good but won't carry any juice if they are cracked slightly but these are all good.

I'm getting 24v at the traction motor once direction contractors pull in. Drive motor brushes were seized solid, never checked for 10 years plus but I've managed to free them off, motor windings look burnt and commutator is filthy, blew it all out and cleaned up as best as possible but still no go, any ideas chaps?
