If you plan on swapping out two of the 116-336's for a pair of these monsters, you need to check that the load rating on the start relay is 18 amp or more. Also, you need to have room for the extra 3/4" height that the taller field winding needs.

117-500
If you have this motor in your industrial or built-in vac, you have the biggest, best quality 110V motor on the market.
It is a 3 fan, 14.5 amp, 7.2" diameter, heavy-duty , all aluminium, By-pass (wet ) motor assy.
Fully repairable, easily serviced and very dependable.
About $300.00 CDN.
117-507
Same as above except has lexan housings and not
as succesfully rebuildable.
Not a good choice if above is available.

116-119
Older style 14.5 amp, 7.2" diameter, 3 stage(fan) all aluminum motor assy.
Very dependable, standard equipment in higher quality older machines.
Parts still available such as carbons and bearings.
Earlier design had 8mm top and bottom bearings but armature is discontinued.
Later design had a larger 10mm lower bearing but this armature can NOT be used in earlier model.
This is probably our favorite motor to rebuild.
Carbon change is dificult, but when done properly, and new carbons allowed to "SEAT IN", expect to get many more years of use at a fraction of the cost of replacement ($300.00+)
Rebuild cost about $75-85.00 dollars CDN.
