Thanks Toolmaker.
That made it look a lot easier to understand. Will try that.

Bill,

This video describes what I just said to try. I'm glad that JPigg55 posted this because I wasn't sure myself. Give it a try.

Ted,
I see what he did but still not sure if that will work with this motor because it has an external fan in the back to cool off the motor. Either way I will check everything better when I get back next week. I am going to be away from tomorrow til Monday.

Depends on the type of fan. Some centrifugal designs work fine in either direction.
