That
looks like a E-8-M / ER-8-36 traction motor. The E-10 motor is
longer still.

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?
