I have an old Hayward super 2 pump with a broken marathon 2 hp dual speed motor that has a 56J frame. I found a A.O. Smith BN61 motor that looks like it would work fine, except it has a X45Y frame. Is there any way to fit a X45Y frame to a 56J compatible pump?

Welcome to TFP.
56J frames are common in pool pumps.
I cannot find any information about a X45Y frame. Can you post its motor data plate?
I doubt a X45Y frame, whatever size it is, will fit a 56J wet end.

That won't mount to your pump.
That is a "Thru-Bolt" motor with Four Thru Bolts on a 5.146 Bolt Circle for an above ground pump.

You need 56J as shown in the bottom pictures.

Thanks for the responses. I thought it would not work. I was hoping someone knew of an adapter plate for this purpose. Oh well, looks like I'll buy the $500 56J instead of the $238 48Y.
Do you need 2 speeds?

What is the pump model number?
Can you show the motor label?
Do you need a specific flow?
Do you have a heater?
How old is the pump?
You can get a single speed with a smaller impeller if you do not need a lot of flow.
You can get a variable speed motor if you want.

That BN61 motor WILL NOT fit your Super 2. It is a through-bolt motor with a 48 frame, smaller diameter than the 56 frame. It is made for above ground pumps. Its a tiny motor. You need a C-Frame, threaded shaft, motor, either 48 or 56 frame, they both fit, in the appropriate horsepower.
If you're really going to spend the $500 then I'd you step up to one of the lower priced vsp's. Just my 2 cents.

You can install a Nidec Neptune NPTT 225 variable-speed motor with a Go Kit 3 and your existing pump will become a VSP for less than $600.00 - $800.00 (depending on where you get the motor). This motor matches your existing impeller. Plenty of instructions on that motor and pump on YouTube.
Oh, I just did two of those nidec 2.7 upgrades. Nothing but praise.
