    I found some oddball bearings for a shop-vac motor at mcmaster.com. You'll probably have to measure the old ones to match something but they have a huge selection. I also think Grainger may be another source.

    Glad you got the new motor.

    Any chance you store chlorine in the same room as the pump? All forms of chlorine will outgas and destroy any obliging metals in the area.

    I ordered a new motor today as well, The humming pump is driving my wife crazy. Hope to have it in a couple of days.

    If you find out what bearing you need (size), if you wouldn't mind posting it, I would appriciate it. If I find out, I will do the same.
