Been searching every way I can think of, and not having much luck, surely someone else in here has needed to replace their fan before? Its an 8" fan for my AC unit. Appreciate the help.

Having it rebuilt might be the way I have to go, my trip to Grainger this morning was a total waste of time, Grainger may be able to find something similar, however first try they have nothing and all the model/part numbers yielded nothing as well, Grainger actually called CruisAir while I was there and tried to find specs, but CruisAir had no idea and was basically worthless. Going to start looking for a rebuilder now.Looks like a shaded 4 pole with sleeve bearings. Yeah, Grainger.
If the windings are not fried you can add oil to those little dimples on the ends and re-lube the bearings while working the shaft free. Those little motors don't have a lot of torque and sleeve bearings get stiff with age. I've fixed many that way.
Yup, that's what we found at Grainger as well, however that is a dual shaft, and fan needs to be a 4 speed.
You can cut the shaft off w/o problems with balance. Clamp shaft in vise, support motor with hand and just hacksaw it.
Four speed will be hard to find.
