I have aquired an old motor that needs some attention, I haven't seen this style before and worked the electrical field for 15 years. I believe the first step is to get some brushes as 1 seems to be missing and the other is just a blob, so the motor is just humming, no activity.

Trouble is no part numbers to go off, just the name plate. Heres the info I have.
Leland Motor
A.C Repulsion Induction
FR. No. 25 A B
1/4 HP PH. 1
Amps 4.4 \ 2.2
CYC 60 RPM 1725

When ordering parts give
No. 2080542

Then it gives a little wiring diagram when wiring for 110 or 220

Manufactured by General Electric

So any ideas?
Has a little cap you take off to adjust the brushes and a guide of some sort, I can get a picture of that if you think it could help. Thanks in advance, everybody likes a good challenge right!
