Dw744 motor assembly

[Adriano]

Hi All,
The bearing on my motor went and melted the back of the field case and sleeve. I have now replaced all but can't seem to make the bearing and sleeve fit into the circular hole at the back of the field casing. I presume it should fit within it and not just butt up to it.
I have checked that all the parts are correct but the bearing is too big for the gap.
Any ideas? Many Thanks

Adriano, I don't see a dw744 GB in the system are you sure its not a SB?

Hi Tinker,
The plate on the front of the unit has the model number on it and it says DW744-GB Type 2.
Can take a picture of it for you but not sure if I can upload it to this site.
I am in the UK and it's a 240volt machine.
Don't know if that helps.
Cheers Adriano

Maybe the GB simply refers to it being for the UK marketplace?
Which would just make it a DW744 Type 2?

Adriano,
I can't find your model but the parts numbers you have match Dw744 type 2.It seems to me Dewalt made a field service upgraded.That is that if you replaced the armature they sent you the armature,bearings and a new housing.They went with a smaller rear armature bearing.I think what happened is that you have the new housing and your trying to put it on the old armature.the best thing is to call your Dewalt authorized service center and explain what happened and see if they can tell you what to do.Sorry i couldn't be more helpful but they don't give us service info on the UK saws.good luck.
