Sawmill is down…. Y’all were right!

What happens here

With the brushes replaced and components cleaned, the creator reassembles the drive motor, ensuring all parts fit correctly. He then re-installs the motor into the sawmill, securing it with the cover plate and reattaching the drive belt. He performs a final test of the sawmill's drive function, which now successfully moves the sawhead back and forth. He notes that the new brushes sound a bit 'crunchy' initially, indicating they need a brief 'break-in' period.

Goal: Ensure the motor functions correctly and install it in the sawmill
