Just replace the motor..its a cheap fix. If that doesn't work your only out about $70 and you have a spare. 94% of us tell you its the motor. Or you can keep on playing with it and let us know what the outcome was :R
I agree. But, I’m going to have to get the cotter pin out and drop the steps regardless. As it stands now I can’t get to the motor.
Currently, we’re on the road. However, we head home today and I have two weeks before we go out again. Hopefully I’ll have it apart by later today or tomorrow.
Stay tuned?

Addendum:
Ok,...took about an hour.
I removed three of the four nuts that hold the motor assembly, and loosed the fourth. This was the hardest/longest part. Not a lot of room to work and those nuts had been in there a while. The motor and steps dropped enough at the front that I could now get my hand and a pair of needle nosed pliers inside. Removed the pin. The steps dropped right down. Swing like new. I then removed the fourth motor nut, and extracted the motor. Hooked it to my 12v battery charger. No movement either way. Next I’m going to remove the motor from the gearbox.
But, after being away for a week, and having it rain here every day, I had about 3 hours of lawn mowing to do before the thunderstorms move in again. Back at it tomorrow.
I want to thank everyone for their assistance with this. It isn’t fixed yet, but the prognosis looks really good.
