This is the hole in the motor cover, there is a black rough area as you can probably see.

that area Is prob not rust:

However when the motor took in water I had to open in order to upgrade bearings Here is motor cap swimming in vinegar. I try to get corrosions marks removed by bathing in vinegar (tops 20 hours) Is it possible to get another cover plate from somewhere? I dont like what I see. ANy advice on water or experience  inside Sherman S ?  SHould I buy new motor?

I just realised the black stuff forming a half circle here comes off with Acetone (So does my nail polish) Maybe i   have had bearings misaligned a wee bit because of this dirt ? 429671424_10161556115509539_487794638666

Cleaner than my thoughts now :  Some shit inside that needed cleaning I guess - the wheel took in water
