seeking info for replacement furnace blower

[cmtul]

I recently purchased a house that came with a LTD limited furnace made by Jordahl. So far I haven't been able to find any specs on this furnace online to figure out what I should relate the blower with. I've tested the blower motor directly, and is showing no signs of life. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's the blower motor that's kaput, right? HVAC motors are standard in specs, you just need the specs to find a replacement.

Pull the motor and take it to a local HVAC supply vendor or motor shop. They may be able to match a replacement for you.

If that's not an option, look for a nameplate or decal on the motor. The specs you need should be on the nameplate. Not a manufacturer's number, you won't necessarily need that. You'll need horsepower, frame size (if listed), RPM, voltage, shaft size & length, rotation direction. Mounting bolt configuration is important, too... there are variables.

Go to grainger.com and use their search feature. It allows you to drill down by motor specs, making what you need easier to find.

Hope it helps.

Beautiful. Thank you greatly for the quick reply. I'll pull the blower off tonight, and look for the items you mentioned. If I find anything I'll post pictures. Once I get an outcome I'll throw it on here.

I buy used fans and motors from my local heating guy. He usually has a bunch of decent ones from replacing units. Even bought a few complete ones for $50.
