(ET) corded mower motor needed

[Anthony Bailey <tonykz1 gmail com>]

Hello all, a couple of years ago I bought this Lawn Chief corded mower 
from our local True Value hardware store. It quit working late last year 
so I just it put away since we were slowing down mowing until I had time 
to look at it. Tonight I thought I'd check it out to see if I could fix 
it or at least find out what was wrong.
Well, like one of my WheelHorse C-185's mower motors was, it's got a 
cracked/broken magnet on one side. Its a 120VAC 12Amp motor (at least 
according to the mower info) with a part number MAF7Y on top of the 
motor, no other numbers or brand names. I'm wondering though if its an 
AC motor at all as it has a small square with 4 terminals on it and the 
AC cord connecting to it and a diode symbol on the top of the little 
square box. Could this actualy be a DC motor and the square box is a 
diode rectifier setup?
Anyhow, I'm needing to find another motor to replace it with and haven't 
had much luck with any internet searches. Any ideas on a easy motor 
replacement?
Thanks, Anthony Bailey
