(ET) sickle bar motor

[Mike Finck <mikefinck rocketmail com>]

Gentlemen,I am trying to resurrect a Haban sickle bar attachment.  My 
immediate concern is the motor.  It has a broken magnet and bad bearings.  
Three different rebuild shops have declined. I am pursuing 3 different 
avenues.1. Does anyone have more/any specs for this motor?  HP, rpms? GE 
serial/model number? Perhaps I could find a suitable substitute or 
parts.2. Speaking with others it seems there are only a couple original 
motors around. Any additional info on existing/surviving motors?3. The 
broken magnet seems the hardest puzzle piece to solve. Any 
suggestions?Thank you for any input.
As an aside, I (my ElecTrak collection) was the cover story of "Vintage 
Tractor Digest" magazine March/April 2025 issue. See attachment.
Mike.
