Identifying Motor Type on Older Force 4 LP 6000

[WhelenNDealin]

I’m currently restoring an older Force 4 LP 6000 and will have to replace at least one rotator/reflector/motor assembly completely and maybe two additional motors motors. The rotator that needs replacing is a story in its own right. It was replaced at some point by the rotator and motor from a cheapo teardrop. I can post pictures for a laugh . I’m trying to identify whether the motors originally used in this bar were the fast motors (Part #95981M) or standard speed (Part #95980M). I haven’t removed any of the motors/rotator assemblies yet. The motors are all pretty weathered, so imprints with part numbers have likely faded. The install manual for the Force 4 XL 5000 says that the high speed motors have a black worm gear and worm. Is it the same for the LP 6000? I looked in the LP 6000 install manual and it doesn’t say anything about how to identify the high speed motors. The motors themselves have large old-style resistors soldered to them, if that helps any. I can provide pictures, if required.

Funny thing I am working on one of these as well.
The white geared ones seem to be standard speed, the Black ones are fast..

Good luck with it.

That's correct. If they are metal half circle rotators, fast speed will be black gears, slow speed is white. There is no difference in the motor itself, Code 3 just adjusted the gear pattern to make them go faster,

If ya neeed a complete rotator for an lp bar, i have a standard speed one that takes the H1 bulb.

Dont have a use for it, so its just sitting in a box with all my other lightbar parts

This bar's rotators use the bayonet-style lights and I'm trying to keep everything as close to how the bar originally was as possible. Still, I'm definitely going to keep you in mind since good parts are good parts. I'll send you a PM if/when I need the rotator assembly. Thank you for your offer! It'll most likely come in handy !
