Ok, so nothing really became of this issue of mine response wise other than pwrWgnDrvr. I solved this problem with a hack, not being able to come up with the proper motor. I ordered a similar motor, that is supposedly the proper one from RockAuto. It is not the correct one as they propose, as it is 1 inch too long. Everything else is copasetic though, wires, width and shaft size/dia. I built a housing for it from galv. material and liquid steel. Sure you could also solder it. Keep the blower within a quarter inch from the housing plate and you will not get a squeal from a rub in the housing. It is a more powerful motor and defrosts quickly. So far so good after two days of plowing. This motor number if you like is a Four Seasons 35540 and it is $46.86 with the shipping to Montana.
