Old Reddy Heater need motor

[AllDodge]

Have a very old Reddy Heater M100D. Been working great for all these years until today. The motor would just hum, so I flipped the fan by hand and it started and heated up my area.

Later took the motor apart and found the front bearing was dragging. The short of it, the front bearing is cracked and appears the motor is not made anymore. Motor M30718-01 or M50450-01 no longer available and no replacement.

Specs for motor 1/6 HP, 3400 rpm, 120VAC and uses a relay for start then switch to run

Wondering if I could use a newer model motor 102001-30 or 33, uses start capacitor

The motor specs out about the same only issue is if my pump and filter box would fit

I would try it. If you can't fix the old motor. Then by all means, give it a try!

You don't have any motor shops locally that could set you up with a rebuild?

That would be my thinking as well. A good motor shop should be able to come up with a bearing to fit that motor.

Do you have a picture of the old motor?

I just sent a message to my parts guy,Ill see if he gets back with me tomorrow with something that will fit it.

Those motors change year to year with different color wires and harness and bracket I've tried to swap a few and found it frustrating. If you can find the parts and it it yourself you'll save but electric motor service isn't cheap in my area.

Wow, going to need to check my settings, wasn't notified of any responses.

The bearing in front is an oil soak bronze type and has felt around it. They put the bushing in, then fiber washer, then spot weld the housing over it. Once apart can't get it back together because of spring tabs which hold the bushing in under the washer.

There is a motor shop nearby and they are reasonably priced, had other rebuilt, will touch base with them.

Can get a pic but it looks like the one in kanasboy link.

Kanasboy the one in your link resembles the same as the part number I found. Don't mind spending the money to get the motor if it will work, if it doesn't I'm out 150.

Appears I can get a new one for about 300 or so, maybe even burn diesel.

The motor is 5 by 3 1/4 inch

I would think a starter/alternator shop could rebuild it for you.

 

[AllDodge]

Sure glad to see I received a notice on a post. Just logged out and back in and things appear to start working again

Here is what I have, and rebuilding this one could be an issue

Would a light duty flange mount ball bearing work if the bump in the motor housing was cut away?
Some pics from McMaster.

McMaster and my browser setting do not get along, sorry for the overlapping pics.

I don't know , would take some modifications, but will check into it. Doesn't work now, nothing to loose

Thanks
