Choosing a replacement motor for your shop can feel like a sorting exercise. You have to match voltage, phase, wattage or horsepower, shaft length, mounting holes, and the machine itself. The four replacement options covered here range from a 60W fan motor to a 3HP variable-speed mill motor, so the decision is also about matching the repair to the application. Do you need a complete three-phase mill motor, a small fan motor, a brush kit to revive an existing motor, or a replacement for a Broan unit? The right answer starts with the machine in front of you.
Quick take
If you're replacing the variable-speed motor in a Bridgeport-type import mill, the VSM3 is the heavy-duty choice and includes the drum switch and pulleys. For a small fan or trimmer, the YYF96-60-6 is a compact replacement motor. The Broan-Nutone 99080483 is the model for Broan equipment, and the OHIO Motor Brush Kit is for servicing an existing OHIO motor rather than swapping the whole unit.

Decision matrix
- Need a complete 3HP three-phase motor for an import mill? The VSM3 is the one to measure against. The motor's details include two bolt hole patterns (8 7/8" center-to-center and 9 1/4" diagonally) and a 6" shaft, so you can check those specs before committing.
- Trying to keep an existing OHIO motor running? The OHIO Motor Brush Kit gives you four brushes and covers a long list of Ohio part numbers, making it a targeted service part.
- Repairing a small fan or trimmer? The YYF96-60-6 is a 60W, 110V, 60Hz single-phase induction motor with a 1250 RPM rating.
- Replacing the motor in Broan equipment? The Broan-Nutone 99080483 is an OEM replacement motor with a 6.8" length and 6.4" depth.
Product notes
OHIO Motor Brush Kit Replacement (4 Brushes)
If your OHIO motor is mechanically sound but the brushes are worn, this $83.19 kit gives you four brushes matched to the OHIO Motor model. The double-lead brush is designed as a replacement for a single-lead brush, and the included part-number list covers a wide range of D- and E- series motors, so you can reference your own motor number before ordering. The limitation is that this is a service part, not a full motor. If the armature, bearings, or windings are the problem, the kit won't address those failures. But for a brush refresh, this is a direct way to extend the life of the motor you already have.
REPLACEMENT MOTOR for Bridgeport type IMPORT MILL 3HP 3PH variable speed VSM3
At $1,499.99, this is the most substantial purchase in the group. The VSM3 is a 3HP, three-phase variable-speed motor intended for a Bridgeport-type import mill. It comes with the drum switch and pulleys, and the frame is a 100L with a 6" shaft. Two mounting hole patterns are provided: 8 7/8" center-to-center and 9 1/4" diagonally. The motor is new and wired for 220V three-phase. The limitation is the application: if you are not working on an import mill with these dimensions, this is the wrong part and the wrong price. For the right machine, it is a complete replacement package.
YYF96-60-6 60watt 110V 60hz 1.0A Replacement Electric Motor For Fan Or Trimmer
The YYF96-60-6 is a small motor at a small price: $24.99. It's a 60-watt, 110V, 60Hz single-phase induction/asynchronous motor pulling 1.0A and spinning at 1250 RPM. That specification makes it a candidate for a fan or trimmer replacement, and the six-wire configuration gives you the leads you need to match your existing hookup. The main limitation is power output. At 60 watts, this motor is not built for loads anywhere near a 3HP mill; it's for light-duty equipment. If your fan or trimmer's original motor is close to this spec, this is a straightforward way back in service.
Broan-Nutone 99080483 Replacement Motor, Broan
The Broan-Nutone 99080483 is an OEM replacement motor priced at $114.99. The model number is explicit, and the dimensions-6.8" length and 6.4" depth-give you a quick reference for checking your equipment. It's listed as new, and the OEM designation points to a part designed for the original Broan application. The limitation is that this is a specific replacement for Broan equipment, not a universal motor. If your application is not Broan-compatible, the OEM fit won't help. For someone repairing a Broan unit, this is the straightforward factory-style option.
Final recommendation by use case
- Bridgeport-type import mill: The VSM3 is the motor to compare against your mill's mounting dimensions.
- OHIO motor needing brush service: The OHIO Motor Brush Kit is the part to order.
- Fan or trimmer repair: The YYF96-60-6 is sized for a 60W single-phase replacement.
- Broan equipment: The Broan-Nutone 99080483 is the OEM replacement motor to match.
