What you got there, good buddy, is your regular old
fractional-horsepower shaded-pole motor. Not likely to find that at
Grainger or any other place selling new stuff. Better to look at the
surplus vendors, like:

http://www.alltronics.com

It'll take some wading through their (often badly-organized) pages, but
I feel confident you'll find something close enough to work.

Google shaded pole motor. Select image and look around.
You may also be able to get the whole assembly making it easier
to find a match.

That's a common shaded pole motor, used by the gazillion in household and
kitchen appliances You might take your motor to an appliance parts store
and see if they can match it to a commonly used motor. Alternatively, check
out the motor at http://skycraftsurplus.com/115vacfanreplacementmotor.aspx
and see if it will fit your blower. You'll need to measure the mounting
centers and pattern on your motor and see if they match up.
If you can match the mounting dimensions, check out the whole assembly at
http://www.herbach.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=HAR&Product_Code=TM03BLR4713&Category_Code=FAN.
It's not a direct match, but might be close enough that you could make it
fit.

Also, if you can wire in a low voltage transformer or a DC power supply (as
appropriate), you could go for a 12V or 24V version of your blower. Look at

You guys are awesome !
Thanks for all the info and links.

You have a "C-Frame Shaded Pole" motor. You will also need to measure
the thickness of the stack of the laminations as that is part of the
motor specs of shaded pole motors. Typical are 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8",
etc.
