Need new motor for Patton High Velocity Air Circulator Model G-1272, 110 current. After about 27 years, the motor quit. This fan is a wall mount behind my wood/coal stove facing the stove pipe. It has 3 speeds and moves the air to the opposite side of the house which is needed in below zero weather. The fan has no plastic parts and is mounted with a "bicycle handlebar" design: a V with bend edges to attach the fan. The fan size between the screws is 14.5 inches.

If you are up to disassembling your motor, you will find a thermal cutout near the windings which frequently fails open. Replacements are readily available, or just jumper it out. If the bearings are shot or the windings burned you're out of luck. Trust me, a new motor will cost more than a whole new fan.

I would recommend that you replace your fan. It sound like you got good use out of it. A good fan for you may be the Lasko 3900. Not only will it circulate the air but it will filter it also and the filter is easily replaceable. Here is a link to Amazon where you can check it out.

I hope this helps you.
