Undoubtedly one of the iconic slot car motors, and to me one of the sexiest. Recently doing a Mura "B" got me to thinking I haven't done a Green Can in a while... so it was "off to the races", figuratively speaking.
Before building an arm/pressing lams, you need a set-up. Hunting through my "pile-o-stuff", I was able to come up with some likely candidates. While not as difficult to come up with as the "B" motor stuff (and I have zero of the 16D "A" stuff), clean Green Cans and the proper magnets, etc., is getting kinda slim. So I got me a pretty clean-looking can and went about stripping it, cleaning it, flattening it... just generally undoing all the stuff that racers did to these things. Most often I'll use a fresh oilite in the can because it's hard to justify the cost with what people are willing to pay, but on this one I figured what the heck (*besides, I can always say no!). I also cleaned the magnets of all the old glue.
So, aside from paint, all I have to do if get together an endbell, although that too takes some doing! Step one:
Like I said... these are some sexy motors!

). The "C" sized "Green can" was a refinement of the "B", being taller and narrower, and had better clearance and "breathing". The endbell hardware (especially the hoods) on the "B" and "C" are pretty much interchangeable, although the bottom plates on the "B" are wider because of the short/fat dimensions of the "B".
