Boy, that's too bad

I just replaced the woodtek dustproof 1 hp 1725 rpm motor on my 36" shop fan yesterday ... it still works actually but is 12 years old and started screeching till I lubed it

I use 2-2hp woodtek motors on a sanding machine with a heavy load and would recommend these motors anytime

Hope you get back going soon Cyberwolf

It sounds like you should be able to figure something out cost effective since you could practically make the machine yourself

Heck,, I have gas power generator,, compressor,, as well as gas power belt drive back up for most all of my shop equip

be creative? [X(]
