Source of motor for Cleva Ash Vac?

[Lake Girl]

My Cleva Ash vac just croaked. It is not the best ash vac but better than having to drag around the big shop vac or leaving the shop vac in the living room. Haven't checked to see if I can take the motor out of the vacuum and replace... Has anyone else done this and know of a source for a new motor?

I don't know but a new one including shipping for 29.99 looks good to me.

You would have spare parts for everything else but the motor.

Thanks for the link but the actual cost for me would be $79.99 USD ($50 membership fee ... BJ's are only on the east coast too). Guess I'll take it apart to see if I can get a replacement motor. If I can't find a replacement, guess I'll have a new ash can...

Try to locate some type of number of identifier on the motor and Google it. Not sure about your part of the world or if you have Grainger but they have or can get about anything like that. Here in the States they are fairly easy to locate and many areas have a Grainger store. That's about all i know of to do.

Maybe try and electrical motor place. Locally I have an A-1 Electrical and found a squirrel cage blower once that was nearly impossible to locate. The cross referenced the numbers etc; and had something in stock that would work. The costs of a replacement might also weigh into the mix. Some can carry a decent price tag.

Did find a number but so faint to read. Planning on trying to read it again tomorrow ... hopefully they are more legible in bright sunlight. We have an Acklands-Grainger but it seems more of an order in shop. Blew everything out with some air and cleaned vanes.

Might be another blower folks should add to their list of spring cleaning

That looks exactly like my Sears Ash Vacuum (Item # 00916819000P), except my on/off switch is different and I have a few extra pellet stove (plastic) attachments.

Motor # as best I could tell: 10254TM5052 number printed below that one 1004710. Tried Graingers on-line and came up empty. Only other motors I found were for central vacs and $100+/- price tag for the smallest one and that was without even looking at the specs. Will reassemble old one today to see if it can be salvaged.

Noticed a difference in the ash vacs currently available ... they have the dacron prefilter. Mine was bought in 2011 when we bought the stove and didn't come with that dacron filter.

Sorry I didn't see you were in Canada. But for US there is no membership needed for this item and free shipping to west coast etc. May be a good deal for anyone looking for an ash vac.

FWIW Pics of the motor.... Likely brushes are shot but I know nothing about electric motors
