Does anyone know if you can get this fan/ squirrel cage fan anywhere?

First Thank you Jim for the information and my Aquahot is purring along very nice with the overhauled control box I got from yours truly.
Chris, I think I need the whole cage and motor. It makes a lot of noise.

Steve, I replaced the bearings in mine (608 RS) X 2 and the motor.  It seems to make more noise than I think it should but has been working fine.  I've notices some others here in park that are about as noisy as ours and some are quieter.  I checked the balance when I had it out and it seemed to be ok.  It has always had about the same amount of noise.  I'll check later today and see if I can get part number for motor and where I got it.

Chris,
Thanks, that would be great. Is it very hard to get the fan assembly out? Appreciate any pointers.
