Get all the data off the nameplate that should be attached to motor. I would check Grainger or some motor/electrical supply shops. I doubt that this is a proprietary motor that has to be purchased from an HVAC dealer. I would not change out the motor unless you are well versed and qualified with electrics.

Good Luck!
