Default Shaded pole motors

I've gotten motors at Johnstone Supply, not sure if they are
nationwide.

Many times, motors just dry up. The draft inducer motor
dried up, on a friend's furnace. She lives alone,
unemployed, and has major medical problems. I was able to
disassemble the motor. Sand the shaft lightly with some
emery cloth. Remove the dried oil with Qtip and some WD-40.
Reoil it with Zoom Spout Turbine oil (you may substitute two
stroke mixer oil, if you wish). Reassemble, and it works
fine.

Please try that, before spending $300.

Buddy at work has a blower motor for his pellet stove that
has given up the ghost. A call
around finds the blower is OEM only at $312.00 or so.

This buys the motor, housing and fan. He just needs a
motor. Grainger had something
close he is going to try to make work but just in case that
fails, anyone know other good
sources for shaded pole motors in qty one?
