This is just funny more than anything. Motor hadn’t been serviced and was brought out to mow the grass for the first time in summer. They plugged it in and heard a bang and the fuse went. Opened it up and this happened! Something was stalling the motor and shorted two of the poles in the rotor and melted the copper! Very cool
