help identifying an old drill model code

fin · Post by **fin** » Fri Dec 12, 2008 12:06 am

The carbon brushes in the drill i use to mix plaster up are running low. theres kind of a thing the brush slides along and the wire is at the bottom and cant go any further (best i can explain it)

this is the drill in question. its an old bosch drill. 1 speed no hammer action

its had replacement brushes about 5 or 6 years back. were still available then. Im told this drill is kicking on for 50 years old. not sure how true this might be though

also out of interest. what would i use to clean the motor up? ive only looked inside the removeable covers over the brushes. its pretty dirty in there.

Take an old brush into the local tool hire, I would expect them to have something that fits.

Pop it out as you say and take the lot in, I'm confident they will be able to help.

This looks like it

When you take the brush's out you could compare the internal
components with the diagram

Definitely agree with TA. I have a 25 year old B&D (I know) jigsaw and I was able to buy a couple of parts for it from Miles (MTMC) and its as good as new. Don't use the jiggie that much therefore not worth buying a new one!
