SECOND EDIT: The core has a leak somewhere in it, it is all bad. Anyone ever get the heater linked?
One of the items on the winter checklist was to get the heater working or replaced. The core is salvagable, one of the inputs needs to be soldered back one. The motor was rusted up however. I was able to get it to break free, sprayed a little wd40 and spun it with my drill, but i dont think it will work. Guess it will pull too many amps to work right.
Anyone know a suitable replacement?

Other option is https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/70601/10002/-1" rel="nofollow - this which seems identical to what was there.
EDIT: The name is ACU-HEAT, and from what i read that is the old name that heatercraft went by. Dont really want to spend 150 on a new blower motor when i can get an almost identical complete unit for 160

Not giving us much info- how many wires are coming out of it? No marking embossed into the motors case anywhere? Just googling 3 speed 12v blower motors comes up with this- https://www.apairinc.com/shopping/?ic=4460" rel="nofollow - link not recommending them just showing whats out there

| Guessing? You really won't know unless you hook it up and check it with the VOM.

Linked heater works well. Great option if you already have all the other pieces (vents, switches, hoses, etc).
