Hello

The Lennox Winslow PS40 has a very good top auger system but it still can be improved.

Since the older original auger motor wore out, we installed a nice ball bearing Gleason-Avery
Both are 1RPM CW rotation looking at front of shaft

OEM auger motor specs
115v 60HZ
0.48 Amps

GA Specs
120v 60HZ
FLA/LRA 0.72 Amps

Also to really secure the motor to the shaft, the allan set screw was upgraded to a nice set bolt!
The new Set Bolt easily fits into the auger collar.
It makes removing the auger motor really easy so you can turn the auger backwards to free any auger jams.

Has anyone replaced their Lennox Winslow auger motor?
