Ok.. new to this Forum.. I just paid for EV8 three year membership. I have a 1947 Ford Fordor Sedan with a inline 226 Six Cylinder motor... When I first got the motor running in 2016, I removed the ARVIN aftermarket heater... I am in the process of restoring the heater, core is good, holds pressure, no leaks, I cleaned up & repainted the components.. But I can't find a replacement 12 volt blower motor.. Early Ford Store in San Dimas had the large style, large shaft motor.. I need a motor with a 1/4" inch diameter shaft, and the 1/4" inch attachment bolts that are approximately 2 1/4" inches apart.. I have not tried C & G as of yet.. they list a universal motor with 1/4"inch shaft.. but at a cost of $185.. Any other sources out there?

Also post your question and search the archives on HAMB (https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/forums/the-hokey-ass-message-board.5/). I am also interested in the answer so post if you find something. Charlie Stephens This message was edited by CharlieStephens on 6-27-18 @ 2:07 PM

If you have a generator repair facility near you, ask them if they can repair your old motor. If there isn't a generator repair facility, Google "small electric motor repair near me". Contact the shop before you send the motor in for repair. Tom

I don't know if you want to have an original style motor, but Grainger lists a 12v motor Model #3LCH7 with a 1/4" shaft, 2 5/16" c-c 8-32 studs. I dont know if this will fit your needs, but a good place to start. https://www.grainger.com/product/DAYTON-1-35-HP-DC-Permanent-Magnet-3LCH7

I believe I answered your question on the H.A.M.B. If it's not you I can post what I used here.

Charlie, I'll answer the question here. The motor I used when I converted my heater to 12 V was purchased from Dennis Carpenter. The part number is B6A-18527-B. The info on the motor itself is, Fasco, 12V, 2807-406-074. The motor has a 1/4" shaft and comes with an adaptor to change the shaft to 5/16". In 2003 I paid $100.75.

A generator repair shop wanted $400 minimum for the re-winding.. I took advice from my same post I made here.. on the Fordbarn.. And I got a motor that fit from NAPA part no. 655-1022.. 12volt.. however the distance between 1/8 inch mounting bolts is 2 5/16ths..and overall diameter of the body is three inches.. with 1/4 inch shaft.. luckily the heater core housing actually had two extra mounting holes for the wider 2 5/16th mount.. and the cavity was just over 3 1/4" inches.. so it fit.. but... just barely... $39.14 out the door at NAPA.. I will take photos of the R&R when I can.. This message was edited by hannaboy@pacbell.net on 6-30-18 @ 4:16 PM

Ok... got the motor into the housing.. here are some before and after photos.. And before you ask why I didn't repaint the housing with hammer-tone paint as original, I had some left over high temp paint from a wheel hub project..
