a friends heat pump needs a new condenser fan motor and the number i got off the old one is AO SMITH - F48SJ8L5 it seems to sub to a generic one on line. the problem is the original motor has tabs welded to the body for mounting and the replacement is missing these tabs. is there a mounting kit i can get to add the tabs to the generic motor? i will be checking with the local supply house on monday but thought i might try here as well.

thanks for posting how you found it. i dont have a knack for finding things like that so i had to ask, maybe one day i will develop the skill. i have a friend that can find anything on google, he just always knows what to type to get an accurate, precise search. its a gift i think....

Various mounts:

A67804K_15.85
TFM-55__18.95
A67805K_13.27

I don't know the prices now but google or put the part numbers into HVAC sites for specs. These are the most popular.
