Not to hijack, but how about a source for better than OE quality blower motors?

I'm on my second or third Harman fan. They start "knocking" after a couple seasons. No amount of cleaning or lubing seems to help.

My experience with motors with bronze bushings is that those with an oil reservoir in the form of an oil cup or oil saturated felt will last for decades. Without it the bronze bushing dries up and the bushing wears rapidly. I would buy a blower by Dayton which has provision for oiling.
