Hey guy's where can I get this fan motor? I really don't know much about these- they must be pretty universal right? thanks!

The only thing you need to watch is how the motor attaches to the bracket. Westinghouse machines often used a two-piece motor. The stationary piece mounted to the bracket, which was curved to fit the motor. This is no big deal for the condensor fan, but it is a problem for the evap fan. I have a WB-102 and had to make a new bracket for the unit bearing motors around today. The reason for this was the evap fan mounted above the evap coil.
The attached photo shows the original mount (without fan blade). I bought a triangular motor mount (from Funtronics) and made 3 new motor mounts. If needed, I can take a photo of the new set-up.

Here is the new set-up. I had to buy:
1. New fan motor (from a local HVAC store, but you can get one from Funtronics)
2. Triangular fan mount (from Funtronics)
3. New fan blade (from Funtronics). I had to get a new blade, because the pitch of the old one was too large for this mounting configuration. The new motor mounts lower than the old one, so the old fan blade hit the evap coils.
4. Some nuts, bolts, and washers.
I made the 3 motor mounts. I bought a piece of flat bar aluminum stock from Home Depot (about $5), cut it and bent each on a press brake at work. I was able to use the original motor bracket as a template for the measurements for the bent portions. Most of the holes were already drilled into the evap shroud. I had to drill one more and then drill holes in the mounts to match the triangular motor mount.
