None of the Powertech generators in our Birds use enclosed motors; I'm sure you'd be fine with an exposed winding motor. If we can find some dimensions for the 5KCP39LGS8 we could probably match it up in Grainger's product line.

I ordered that motor from Ebay, but the site doesn't calculate shipping. Ultimately, the shipping charge was quoted at $30 in a follow-up email, but method was not specified. This is $10 greater than most other vendors. I'll see how the process goes.

Searching Ebay for all 1/3 HP HVAC motors yielded many similar units, made overseas, at similar pricing. Do the motors on the newer Powertech units use ball-bearing or sleeve bearings?

Thanks for the help.
