    I just asked because I have an attic fan motor in the shop where I can't seem to find anything but Chinese junk motors, to fit in that space as it is up in an exhaust vent and there isn't much of a way to alter the mounting.

    Isn't Grizzly just a rebranded item made who knows where in China? Wouldn't that make getting parts problematic? Probably better to just take measurements and find something on E-bay and make it fit.
