Jerry,
Most electric motors up to a certain year have encoder bearings which read the direction and speed of the motor. This is replaceable, but the motor will need to be removed to complete. I did not see a serial number which would designate the year. The newer lifts actually have a sensor that is bolted on from the outside. Good Luck
