[BC] Harris Z-5 Baldor blower

[Mike McCarthy]

Tom,

Worse case scenario would be to rebuild the motor.  Not cheap for such a
small motor. But sometimes that's the only way to sustain that device.

Oh...don't forget e-bay and Google/Bing serach engines as sources. I have
found more things there than I can count after I was told no longer
available from vendors.

Have you tried to cross the old Baldor to a Dayton motor?  Let me add,
there are a number of variables which may or may not make a given motor
suitable. The most critical thing will be the NEMA plate # which generally
assigns standard the various mounting and electrical specs (voltage,
phase, HP, shaft diameter, etc.)
