I saw the same motor the other night when showing Paul where to get some 
electrical stuff.  They are the right size and speed, so the only 
remaining question is whether they are strong enough for the job.  Of 
course, the only way to tell that is to buy a couple and give them a 
try.  After all, that's why my shop is full of parts that "almost 
worked" :-)
