Toy 12V motor replacement source???
I got a really good deal (FREE) on a Mattel ride on Caterpillar dump
truck for my son at a garage sale. It had no markings or battery, so I popped in a 12V motorcycle battery. When I switched it on, I heard two pops from the back of the vehicle. I think that I burned out both motors. So now I'm looking for replacements. Since my quest began, I've learned that this toy takes a 6V battery to drive both motors. I guess this explains the "pop" sound and confirms my theory of the motors being blown. The local repair shop wants $20 each and $100 to install them, which is way more than the toy is worth--new. Does anyone know how I can buy these myself? The shop wouldn't tell me anything. Thanks for all the help. Mark |
