I just replaced the bearings on this older (70's?) Dayton 1/3hp 110/220v motor that goes to a Rusnok mill. When i went to reassemble, I noticed that a little wire sticking out of the windings, which will hit the rotor if I reinstall it. The motor ran fine before I disassembled it.
The wire can be seen right in the center of the pic below (sticking down/left from the windings)
The wire appears to be smaller diameter compared to the winding wire (and possibly aluminum instead of copper)
I'm stumped. What is it, and what should I do about it?
