So my buck stove 2700 motor FASCO 7163 6045 aka D1138 started making some bad noises. I pulled it out and blew compressed air through it, oiled it very good with SAE 30 and reinstalled it. All is well for now but how long can i expect it to last? I can push the shaft in and out about 1/4" or so (the motor shaft for you perverts ). Is that normal?
Sounds like it is good for many more years. I have never replaced mine and I started burning it in 1982. But I always oiled it every year when I pulled it out to clean. Since I direct connected it to a SS chimney liner, and it is harder to pull out, I have not oiled it and it is now starting out really slow on Low. So, I think I better oil it this year.

Don't worry about that. The Fasco motor is not original however, so I can't speak much for its quality or longevity. Many sites can get you an OEM motor. The first one I listed, servicesales.com is excellent and I have ordered from them before. My Son and I have been burning the old 26000 and 27000 bucks for a long time and I will be glad to help with anything I can. Steve
As chief says the end play is for thermal expansion, what type of oil you use can make a big difference, I used clock oil on mine one year and it did not make any noise for 3 years after that, other types of oil always need oiled every year.
I always used SAE high temp Di-ester oil. The sales guy back in 1982 told me to use hydraulic fluid. Some where recently I read Mobile oil 1 would be good.
A friend has a Country Fame insert that he bought new in 1988(?). The blower motor squeal every fall, so he pulls them, blows them out and oils them. He has only had to replace one over the years.
I can't find an oil hole anywhere on the blower for my Daka. Do all of your guys' have specific oil holes or are you pulling the motor itself apart to oil the bearings?
The ones I had all had oil holes in them, you may have a better unit that does not need oiling, maybe it has a sealed or shielded bearing in it?
I'm not certain that I consider a lack of oil ports "better" but I get your drift. I'd rather they had them and didn't need them than not even allow for the possibility.
Now that the stove has been cold for 48 hours I gotta pull mine and oil it, forgot all about it until I read this thread thanks crzybowhntr for the reminder.
Well if it has a shielded or sealed bearing there would be no where for the oil to go and it would make a mess, bushings or an open bearing would need oil but not one with sealed bearings. When you get into bigger motors many of them have bearings that do not need (or cant be) lubed for the life of the motor.
