Ack thanks! Ima check out that site more and see if I can get some specs on that motor. Surely they wouldn’t sell a motor with a shaft that won’t fit my fan, right? Are fan motor shaft ends all the same size?
64SB that is a great idea. Ima build me some jumper wires and test your idea out tomorrow.
Dmjlambert, it looks like one of the bronze bushings, it’s the one closer to the fan and is kind of bulbous in shape, is galled. I’ve had it apart and together a few times and it ain’t getting better. Bummer because I wanted the satisfaction of having the stocker but it looks like that motor got the better of me.
