Re: 1961 Blower Motor Fan
Just a update. I restored that old '58 heater blower assembly I showed earlier. The motor was hard to turn but wasn't seized. I had to take it apart to replace the crusty old brown wire. I saved and reused the brass female terminal. The internals of the motor were excellent and just needed cleaning and oiling. Brushes were like new The motor mount plate and cage were fine too. I had to make my own motor to plate rubber seal as those aren't available separately.
Some media blasting and painting freshened it all up nicely. Motor runs perfectly. While I have the squirrel fan out I'll take a few measurements for future reference and add later.(Done)

EDIT - Squirrel cage dimensions and motor shaft diameter dimensions.
Note: Motor turns counterclockwise when facing the squirrel cage/motor shaft tip, drawing air into the cage center and out of the vanes into the circular heater housing.
