...underwriters....Learn something new every day....

I checked Grainger and reliable parts but this motor is smaller than
the ones I saw.
It's closer to the size of an AC table fan motor. 120 volt CW 2500
rpm

Here's a group of photo bucket pic's of this thing (squirrel cage too)
maybe this will give you a better idea.
appreciate your taking a look.

That's a common shaded pole motor, used by the gazillion in household and
kitchen appliances You might take your motor to an appliance parts store
and see if they can match it to a commonly used motor. Alternatively, check
out the motor at http://skycraftsurplus.com/115vacfan...mentmotor.aspx
and see if it will fit your blower. You'll need to measure the mounting
centers and pattern on your motor and see if they match up.
If you can match the mounting dimensions, check out the whole assembly at
http://www.herbach.com/Merchant2/mer...egory_Code=FAN.
It's not a direct match, but might be close enough that you could make it
fit.

Also, if you can wire in a low voltage transformer or a DC power supply (as
appropriate), you could go for a 12V or 24V version of your blower. Look at
