The hole for the driveshaft is so close to the bottom of the mower, it's going to be difficult to fit a motor of any other size in there.

I am not sure where to find an OEM motor from, especially at a reasonable price.

I may stop out at the forklift motor rebuilding place that I got my brushes from. They were very friendly and have TONS of motor cores around. I might be able to find the right one there.

I plan on bringing the mower out to the next EV Build Day, this Sunday, in Milwaukee.
