Wards "Powr Kraft" Circular Saw... Help...

[Stephen Young]

Remove the brushes yourself & take them to a good hardware store - might get a good enough match.

Hello...

I am trying to source a pair (or two) of motor brushes for my 1972 vintage Montgomery Ward "Powr Kraft" Circular Saw.

The model number is TGB-8110A and the part number for the brushes("brush & spring") is 718-838.

Would it help if someone knows who originally made this saw for Wards?

I've done a pretty thorough web search and it looks like I'm going to have to rely on someone's personal knowledge & experience...

Thanks, Rob

You check this group?

If the source for other Powr Kraft (Power Craft for search) parts can't help, it's time to go to a motor shop.

Try these guys:

. This company bought most of the tooling and spare parts stock of the company that originally produced Powr Kraft tools.

At some point Black and Decker made Power Kraft tools. Try a Dewalt/B&D service center if convenient.

I needed and found parts for a PowrKraft (Wards) RAS at

They don't list parts online, but have a toll free number to call. My experience was just grand. Hope yours is the same.

Unfortunately, you are 11 years too late.

For lack of the replacement brushes, trainfan1 gave up woodworking all together. He took up flower arranging instead.
