I was looking at Southstar or Atlanta Thread for one when JC offered me one for free, + pay for shipping. But alas, after trying the old motor it ended up running really well, so for now I don't need one. I saw the machines and equipment thread on the F-I forum - or should I say - I drool over them! As money comes, I hope to shop there! There was also a site that showed using straps tied around the motor - then top - to help hold the motor into place when mounting. I like your idea better tho, of just turning the top upside down. It sounds better than holding up a 40+lb. motor. Thank you for your comments! I appreciate them very much.

As handy as you are, you could have installed it. The hardest part is being able to hold it in place while tightening the bolts. Well after the fact I changed out one of mine, I realized the better way to do it would have been to turn the table upside down. I think I paid $68 for mine about 8 years ago.
