New Custom Forged Wheels for Winona car 10
Over the past decade, I’ve researched, re-designed, and sourced replacement parts for historic trolley cars to assist a variety of satisfied customers, including:
![Repaired armature](http://paulganter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/IMG_0019-150x150.jpg)
Repaired traction motor armature
Parts supplied across my desk include:
- motor support bearings
- wheels, axles, pinion gears, bull gears, complete wheelsets
- journal brasses (babbitted and plain) and journal thrust bearings
- suspension springs, motor nose support springs, specialty springs (e.g. brake linkages), coil springs
- Brill “half-ball” wear bushings for brake linkages and suspension
- cast journal boxes (repaired)
- cast iron suspension spring seats
- wear liners (journal box and other)
- side bearings and adjustment packs
- specialty bolts, pins, bushings, spacers
- motor field coils, brushes, brush holders, insulating bushings
- rewound armatures and armature shafts
I’ve also determined mechanical design details to convert:
- broad gauge railroad equipment to standard gauge
- standard gauge equipment to broad gauge
I retain design info on past projects and have good relationships with various sources offering competitive pricing. I know who will do odd-ball projects without breaking the bank!
