Hey guys,

It seems as though Grizzly sells replacement brushes for the stock motor, but they sell two different types. It appears as though there is a version 1 and version 2 of these brushes, and I'm not sure which I should choose, and what the differences are.

My manual lists the brushes as part# P0704221-1, and Grizzly's site also lists a part# P0704221-1V2. However, I'm not sure what the differences are between them.

One other small detail is that the first part# (P0704221-1) is out of stock, and I need them ASAP. Could I use the V2 brushes and get away with it? Or, are they completely different?

I've even thought about buying a new motor, but mine still works, and I don't know if I should spend the extra cash on a newer motor just yet.

Anyone have any idea on the brush differences?

There are probably plenty of used motors around since so many have upgraded. You are a week or two ahead of me or I'd send you my motor. My upgrade should be here soon, but I need my machine in the mean time.

I really should have used the search function. There's another similar thread, and it looks like Grizzly have decided not to stock anymore of these brushes.

I went ahead and purchased a new motor instead. Sorry mods. You can delete this thread if you like.

I ordered and received version 2 brushes and the replacement caps. To large for motor 95ZT08. I decided to check and clean the commutator and found it to be defective. Now I have to find myself a motor replacement. Current motor has a 20T gear on the end of a 14 mm shaft with a10mm tapered end.

Good luck with your new motor.

Grizzly said none would be ordered for the version of my G0704 motor. Said I should go to Ace hardware or Amazon.

I've modified brushes a number of times for various generators. For example my 74 RD350 needed brushes, Yamaha wanted $35. I bought some at Sears for $4 and then trimmed them up. So it doesn't seem to far out of the question to do it for the Grizzly motor.

Wow! What a price difference. As it turns out. I'll be needing a replacement motor. However, I will keep what you said in mind for future reference. Never know if the motor I find used will need an immediate brush replacement upon examination.

Thanks
