December 7, 20205 yr @PeteM, I'll answer your question from my profile here, so I can reference the photos. The adjustment ring, and clamp are two pieces. The one with the screw clamps the one with the tang in position. The one with the locking screw doesn't turn, only the one with the tang. You should be able to turn the brush plate once the screw is just loosened.
December 7, 20205 yr Author Larry, looking at the left side, does the casting have two ridges that limit the turn of the ring? If so, the ring extension/tab/pointer on the left is shown tight against the upper ridge. Is the screw hole through the left pointer a slot? I'm trying to vision what the screw tightens against after the ring rotates CCW/down. Maybe this is why I stick to Legos?
December 7, 20205 yr Pete, It's hard to see in the photo, but the ring with the screw through it is separate from the ring with the tang. (two rings, only one with tang) The ring with the screw through it doesn't turn, it clamps down on the ring with the tang. That's why you don't want to remove the screw, just loosen it.
December 8, 20205 yr @PeteM, I found some other photos that should help. You should see something similar to this viewing through the brush opening. To change the direction you loosen the screw for the clamping ring, and rotate the ring with the tang from the mark it's aligned with to the other mark. Retighten the clamp ring screw. This photo shows the marks a little closer up.
December 8, 20205 yr Author Popular Post LARRY IS AWSOME!!!!!! Not apparent in the photo close-up I sent earlier, my version doesn't have the markings your photo shows on the casting. Mine has simply a witness mark on the casting, and then there are two marks on the rotating ring. Slight loosening of the clamp screw allowed me to rotate the ring from one mark to the other (maybe a 10~15 degree shift?). Motor now runs CCW. Edited December 8, 20205 yr by PeteM

Motor now runs CCW. ..I believe the motor I found photos of is slightly older than yours, so would explain the slight difference in the locating marks.

Not to the dustbin of history, but to Old Machinery Operating and Restoration Tips so that others can find the info more easily. There is not a lot of information about the Wagner electric motors available. You're more than welcome Pete. @John Morris Could we get this topic moved?
January 13, 20215 yr Larry, I must say that you are awesome and full of experience which is helpful to all us youngsters. LOL
