Howdy all,

I have a 54 fresh air heater. I'm going to buy a 12v motor for it and it appears that I'll need a CCW motor.

Has anyone done this? I don't want to buy an expensive motor and find out that I got the wrong one etc.

Sac Vintage has a motor for about $75 or so. It will actually do CW or CCW and is speed selectable. I'll probably use a high low switch with a rheostat on the low selection.

It's evidently a '56-'60 motor. I just want to ensure that they didn't change them so much that it won't fit.


Thanks,


Rick

 

Rick, are you worried mostly about the physical size or the voltage/wattage of the motor?

 

HI, I put a 12 v motor in my heater, but it was about 1" longer than the 6v, so I had to make a hole in the bottom for it to fit. Unless you bend over to look under the heater you can't see it. Works great. Bob

 

Doing the same thing that Trader Bob did...bought a 12v motor and will have to modify a bit....that is why we call them Projects...hehehe

 

Hi George,

Well, I just want to ensure that it fits and the shaft size matches the squrrel cage. They also come in CW or CCW too. Mine is CCW. I can control the speed easily with a simple rheostat or a big power transistor if I need to.
