My index 645 has the stock 3 phase motor on it and

safe when troubleshooting electrical. Can anyone
give some hints on what to look for? Any common
failures for this type of setup?


Are you saying that the motor starts in forward, but not in reverse?

Does it hum but not start in reverse?

I don't hear a hum. Just seems totally dead.
