I know this is a very old thread, but may I ask what a NEO motor is as compared to the 141444 factory motor? We have a couple 50-118's that are throwing occasional left motor open faults and I'm debating the best course of action. I pulled one of the motors apart and found very minor comm. wear. The wear was a little uneven, like they had stalled them out against something. I also read something about identifying the factory brushes compared to aftermarket, but can't seem to find that now. I believe they were saying the factory Crown brushes appeared to have silver-like spots on them. Thank you for your input.

As a secondary question, does anyone have any personal experience with the new motor that Warfield Electric offers?
