Anyone got a dirt cheap 2 stage lamb motor?

Just got a free commercial carpet cleaner with a bad motor, does anyone have a cheap motor they’d be willing to sell. I can’t afford a brand new motor.
Thanks

You have the model number of the vacuum/motor?

Any idea what the problem with the motor is?

Here’s some pics, the motor is water damaged and has bad bearings.

Well if your armature is good and happens to be a 215330, I have a 7.2" motor (115334) that is only missing the armature that I'm giving just for shipping cost. I can't tell what type of motor that is, don't see a serial number or any other identifying info. I'd guess you have something closer to a 5.7" though.

But if it's just water damage, I'd say there's a good chance a cleaning and bearing replacement would get it going. Bearings are cheap and pretty easy to replace in these.

I’ll check the armature tomorrow,
But I’m not great at replacing bearings if I need to.

Looks like a pretty basic horn motor. We have plenty of them at work, but they are retail priced (same as online).
