Ok,
after spending a lot of time with a puller, lots of little bolts
(so the puller wouldn't hang up on the blower hole) and oil I got
the motor off and the blower part off. Apparently the only bearing
on this thing is the one on the motor, and the motor is held to
the housing with 4 1/2 inch bolts.
A quick picture dump is at:

Got my rusty leaf vacuum from Harold last
weekend and this weekend I set to working on it. First step was
to hose down the bolts with penetrating oil because it's
rather... weathered.
Second step was to take the back off the motor. It's a long PM
motor, probably the one used in the E10 type tractors. The
bearings inside are dry as bones, but some penetrating oil got
them moving. That should be enough to test.
The motor is mounted to the tractor by a frame which goes in the
stabs and also seems to connect at the hitch tongue. Looks solid
enough.
Next step is removing the blower fan and getting the motor off
the thing. So far I got the set screw out, I don't see another
set screw in there, so it's more penetrating oil and waiting a
bit to see if I can tap the motor shaft out. I'm guessing it's
on with a woodruff key and the set screw holding it on.
Ultimately I want to use this to vacuum leaves here. I have a
big craftsman trailer, anyone know where I can get a tent
assembly for it and what kind of hose is best to attach to this
thing?
