I'd imagine that the bearings are standard deep groove ball bearings that are either 62xx or 63xx series bearings. They are easy to obtain. The wires to the run switch can be somewhat tricky to remove, but the motor otherwise comes apart fairly easily. Pulling the bearings off the fairly long shafts may present some challenges for an individual, but it is no problem for a motor shop.
The reason you are having trouble finding an exact replacement is that (like much of modern equipment) the motor has changes from standard frames, specifically, to prevent you from finding an inexpensive replacement. You are to buy the factory replacement part which may not be available anymore. This, in turn, leaves you with "no other option" than to buy a new unit. |

View Quote Yeah, from what I've been able to find so far it seems like it's changed part numbers once or twice since it was new. The latest version from Lennox looks to be about $425... |

I've drilled fan hubs to adapt to larger shafts.

Lennox is known for having manufacturers tweak their parts just enough to force to buy from them (Lennox).
I am willing to bet GE made that an OEM motor for just Lennox. They will mess with the shaft size or motor RPM usually. They did it with motors, gas valves, compressors, etc… |

That has double blower wheels on it doesn't it?

Yeah, those are a total bitch to find, you'll probably have to find a GE made one. Genteq used to make one but it looks to be discontinued or not available right now. Lennox is a bitch to work with, they want their $$$$ for Dave's gold plated coveralls. |

I don’t have time to look up the diameter of the old motor, but this is our go to universal for things like fan coils, PTACs, etc…
This motor covers a lot of bases https://www.supplyhouse.com/Century-748-5-4-Speed-Double-Shaft-Fan-Blower-Motor-Less-Base-120V-1550-RPM-1-6-1-8-1-10-1-12-HP |

I wonder if OP could replace the blower wheels and change over to 1/2 shaft blower wheels which is common from 3/8ths which isn't. That way he could use the motor you listed. I've done similar in the past with some wonky off branded ''NLA'' stuff. |

from my quick searching thats a 42 frame sized motor.
drilling the hub in the blower wheel to 1/2 might be your only option here if you dont want OEM. fuck Lennox. |
|

[#12]
Yeah, 5" dia. motor. I'm not above drilling out the hubs in the blower wheels for a 1/2" shaft. This whole system is coming up on 18 years old, so I am guessing its days are numbered anyways. Although I hope it'll surprise me and keep on kicking for another 5 years...
I may pull this motor apart just for fun and see what the bearings look like inside before I get too crazy with ordering a new motor and hitting the drill press. |

Both lennox and Trane ARE assholes when it comes to their F'ed up replacement parts and pricing. It's why you don't ever see me recommend them. It's not that they are ''bad'' per se but that down the road, you will very likely get f'ed either financially or technically because they damn well don't want you to work on ''their'' stuff yourself.

O.K. This explains the very few odd ball bearings that I've encountered. But, to grind the i.d. to 1/2 inch from 12mm really does not make much sense. It would be better to use a 6102 bearing and make the shaft fit 15mm while maintaining the same 32mm housing bore.
If it were my motor, I'd make a sleeve to do just that. But, I do that kind of thing for a living only on much larger machines: 50 hp and up. |

Last year I needed to replace the blower motor in my furnace. I took a trip down to the motor re-builder who had a motor on the shelf but the shaft was to short. He took it apart and stuck it in a press and swapped out the shafts. I said damn all the years I have messed with electric motor I didn't know you could swap shafts by pressing them out. I was there less than an hour and left with a new motor and a couple of start caps as well

This is why Lennox and Trane are the only equipment manufacturers that I tell people to avoid.
