165 CRANE REWIRE

[catdoing]

im rewiring a 165 when i took it apart it has 4 wires coming from motor assembly. on the motor itself it only has 1 wre coming out . on the scmatic it shows two wires coming from motor feild. one of the feild wires is attached to the brush holder .is this correct? its the #3 wire thats missing outer feild. the wire coming from the motor is wound around the brush holder screw. should this be yellow #3?

thanks for any help

I just finished a 182 crane.  The #3 wire (yellow) is the outer motor field, and the #1 wire (black) is the inner motor field. 

There is an additional yellow wire (bottom right) is jumpered from the right brush to the screw.

 

Black #1, and Yellow #3 wires soldered on side of coil assembly.

 

One more from the top.  You can see the yellow jumper (top right) here.

thanks they had outer feild wired to the screw  plus  the jumper wire is there also. one more thing do you think regular lionel layout wire work

I used 22ga stranded wire.  I think the Lionel wire will work.
