I am a happy RVr this afternoon. With help from my grandson, we installed the repaired condenser fan motor and my front A/C now works great, drawing a total of 8.5 amps on high. The motor bushings were worn out and the shaft was scarred and had to be replaced. Windings appear good with no obvious heating, probably due to heat shutoff in the motor. A small electric shop here in Mexico rebuilt it for the grand total of $60. I have attached photos with some word descriptions. To be on the safe side, I have ordered a replacement spare motor from Granger. Many thanks to all of you that helped me with the project.
