I found a 5/16" flanged Oilite bearing at a local small motor repair shop here in Denver (Bob's Electric Motor Service) and pressed it into the hole in the end of the commutator end bracket after I pressed out the old worn spherical sleeve bearing and retention clip. Then I machined a retention plate from 1/8" aluminum plate and secured it in place with a pair of #4-40 bolts after surrounding the new sleeve bearing with a felt wick soaked in 20 wt oil. Not a plug-n-play fix, and less than minimum wage for the time it took, But worth not having to trash & replace the entire tool for lack of a $2 part.
A replacement parts site doesn't even list the motor as being available for this model, just saying what the parts list shows us. They are only showing about 11 parts available for the whole unit:
