Questions about this item

Will the 727-40 motor align with the mounting pattern on a General 81 unit?

The 727-40 motor is listed as a direct fit for General models 81, 45 and 65, so its mounting holes match those units.

Which wiring step is most often missed when swapping in the 727-40 motor?

Reconnect the ground wire to the motor housing before securing the mounting bolts; skipping this step leaves the appliance ungrounded.

Lubricate the motor bearings annually with a few drops of lightweight electric-motor oil to maintain quiet operation.
