I was topping off one of my 75's yesterday. Everything was going great and then I heard a different sound and then it got quite, only the motor running. I had an idea what happened so today I pulled it apart and found the motor shaft snapped in half just behind the crank. Upon inspection both cylinders and pistons appear to be in perfect condition. No other internal damage to the housing either. This could be the end of the AV unless I can get a motor at a decent price, that's if I can actually find one. Who knows maybe someone has an AV that's terminal but has a good motor for sale. I'll call AV Monday and see what they say.
Also looking at the break in the shaft I see some discoloration that probably means something as far as the reason for the failure.
