Removed motor from cement mixer. Chiseled off chunks of splattered concrete

suddenly freed up and was able to turn.
Plugged it in and it runs fine. Fairly quiet!

Question: Tear it down further to look at bearings .. or .. use as is.

I vote, if it works, don't fix it. ;-)

If it's worth doing it's worth doing right.
