maybe a part number or
Maybe posting a photo of what you need might help. and measurements,
a lot of these motors were the same,
if the blower switch a rheostat ? how many speeds,
I have freed these up in the past, with out problems, with rust buster or oil
might need electric motive cleaner sprayed on the commutator
good luck
hope this helps, 37Ragtopman

  its a 40 blower motor with 4wires and two speeds in both directions one direction is for heat and oppsite rotation is for defrost i belive from reading that 41 to 46 motors are too big to fit heater box

  The hot water heater motors (and fans) are the same size from 39 to 48.

  The 39 and 40 motors are shorter in length than the 41-48 hot water heater motors.
