Or, if you click the link at the bottom of the 1st post it takes you to the original thread at homemoanershub, which includes the original date. No reason the idiots couldn't easily figure out the thread is an antique.
You are correct. I did not look at the date before posting. Also, as someone mentioned, he may have been talking about an attic fan and not a whole house fan.
Hopefully the references I posted can help someone else who is looking for the Leslie-Locke company.
If you measure the diameter, it is probably 5", you can search for a replacement by that on Fasco's website. At least that is what I did. They are grouped by the diameter
It is possible that the thermostat is bad and not the motor itself. Discon nect the black line and load wires in the thermostat and connect the two wi res together to see if the motor works. You should also check to see that y ou have power in the thermostat between the hot and neutral.
Replacement thermostats are available at Home Depot.
I forget who took over the Leslie-Locke line, but parts are available as I have bought them. Home Depot does sell replacement motors, but I don't rem ember if it will work for yours.
Try this link for replacement motors.

If you cannot find a replacement motor, you can take yours to an electric m otor rebuilder and have them fix it for you.
GAF owns the MasterFlow name and those fans are sold at Home Depot:

I usually order a new fan blade when I buy a motor as the old one can be di fficult to get off the shaft. You don't want a bent fan blade.

If you live in or near a decent-sized city, there is probably a motor supply store that sells replacement motors for just about everything. That's where I've bought the replacement motor for my roof fan.
You certainly don't need a leslie-locke motor. In fact those things probably don't exist. They buy motors from someone and put their name on them.
EMR I think it was, Electic Motor Repair. But mostly they replace them.
Except that if it's a roof mounted one, then you have a more involved shingle operation. As i recall HD carried replacement motors, if they still do, that's a possible source.
