When I was trying to find out what bearings this motor took, I couldn’t find any info about it on the internet. It was almost as if the motor didn’t exist. Yet it was sold as part of a 2 speed 1hp Hayward Super pump. Other than finding another person looking for the same info, the search was pretty much a dead end.
The motor is interesting in that the back cap is different than the standard A. O. Smith pool motor. So disassembly is slightly different, but basically the same. If you’re reading this post, I found a You tube video on a Century spa pump that is very similar and helped me take mine apart. Basically the difference is the design of the back plate / cap.
The bearings I found were the standard 6203 2RS bearings used in many A. O. Smith motors. They were GBC bearings made in China. But that isn’t why they failed. Apparently mud daubers decided it would make a nice nest.
