Re: [MBZ] OT Source for fan motor brushes
The magic boxes at an Ace or True Value hardware store often contain a wide assortment of fractional HP motor brushes. I have been pretty successful in finding something there that is darned close.

Re: [MBZ] OT Source for fan motor brushes
My local hardware store carries a small variety of brushes, in the same part of the store where they sell individual nuts and bolts and other fastener-type things. Without getting the old brushes out and taking them for comparison, I don't know how you'd know whether they had any compatible ones.

That is why I was hoping someone knew of a listing of size or someplace that sells them online.

Re: [MBZ] OT Source for fan motor brushes
Buy the largest set you can find, within reason, and go at them with a hacksaw/file. Wastefull, yes, but works. If they are too small, bring em back and swap for larger ones. Walt, been there, done that on a Honda 4wheeler starter.
