Thanks for that web site. For some reason it didn't come up on Google.
What diameter wheels do you use? I see 5.75inch but I don't think that will fit my machine?
5" dia x 1/2" hole

Is the motor itself bad (electrically open or shorted) or just the bearings bad? That should just be a shaded pole motor with no internal switches, start relays or capacitors.
Check the yellow pages for electric motor repair. I have had many motors rebuilt to like new,and it's cheaper than ya think.
I'd have to agree with skid row on having it rebuilt if the case is still good. I've been down that road may times and always with good results. Finding a good shop to do it is half the battle. I usually do them myself if I can get the replacement parts at a reasonable price. I have even had the wiper motor rebuilt to 12v from 6v on my 39 Dodge coupe. Ask the key questions like: do you guarantee your rebuilds? Will the stator and poles be checked for resistance within specs? A good shop does all this automatically when they rebuild electric motors. Good Luck!
