Make sure the motor you get a spins in the right direction. Some are hardwired to spin clockwise or counterclockwise, and some can be wired to reverse direction.
The motor on my old table saw stopped working. The starter clutch was getting stuck so I cleaned it up and got another 6 months out of it. Eventually it finally gave out, so I got rid of the saw because it was not worth the cost of a new motor. Later I found a similar saw at the Restore in Plymouth selling for much less than the price of a new motor.
Ebay also sells lots of Chinese made motors for much less than graingers.
