Hi there, It sounds like you have a wood stove or wood boiler draft inducing blower motor. When I installed mine like that 11 years ago, I had the oiling ports facing down. The instructions failed to mention adding oil and that little motor lasted 4 years or so and just completely stopped spinning. I'm a yooper so of course I took it apart, cleaned 4 years of grit and dust off of it lubed it liberally and plugged it in. It ran for 7 more years while being oiled once in a while. I found a suitable replacement years ago but only changed it out in January when I did major repairs. The end play in the new blower motor was just about the same as the old one and I did some adjusting to get the fan where it wouldn't touch the housing. This motor is just a small fraction of a horsepower, 1/6 hp or something like that. You want to know if you can replace the wick that holds the oil to lube the bushing. I gave up on mine bur maybe a thin felt washer might help. The Fergeson or Grainger catalog should have a replacement. Some of those motors have sealed bearings. Where do you live anyway? I'm here by Marquette. Take care, John

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
