The Hydraulic Power Unit motor was custom made in Hydro Products located in San Diego, CA. This company is no longer in business, and there are no drawings, spare parts or components available. Any company capacitated of repairing HPU stators will need to create their own drawings, custom parts and a test fixture to accommodate the repair due to the atypical design of the unit. Jasper Electric Motors is the only know company in the United States that currently has the in-house resident knowledge, facilities, and experience to rebuild electric motors laminations. This company has over four decades of experience repairing motors. They have provided a complete repair and tests of the HPU stator by means of removing all the windings and laminations, manufacturing the custom laminations, replacing the windings and testing the stator to optimum standards on previous occasions. Their proposed time of completion is 12-15 weeks, where as a company without previous experience would have to incur additional time and costs to design and manufacture custom equipment that is needed to service the stators. Jasper Electric Motors Inc. has been capable of repairing and testing these custom electric motors that require special considerations due to their intricate design and has repaired and tested them previously.
