Annu, what is the frame size of the motor?? It looks like the feet are aluminum.? If steel I would just bend them back.? Aluminum might break but I'd look for a different source if the frame is a standard IEC metric motor.? I also assume the slot in the shaft
is what is sloped or you could just swap or buy a new key.? I've not seen sloped keyways in a shaft so it is something new to me.? Dave

Well...i'm seriously frustrated now....the new motor that was sent has a different motor shaft key than the original motor.? The new motor's key is like a ramp and the old motor's key is flat.? So now i can't fit the belt pully onto the new motor.? Additionaly,
when i got the new motor off the foam padding it was sitting on in the shipping box, i realized that mounting bracklets are both bent.? so even if I could have put the pully on the motor, there was no way that I would have been able to install and allign it.?
Now i will have to rerent the pallet jack and trailer to bring it home whenever Felder addresses this.? I've attached some pictures below.? In the picture of the new motor, the old motor is on the top and the new motor is on the bottom.? You can clearly see
that the old motor's brackets are nice and flat and the new motor's brackets are not.? I'm assuming that they are not supposed to be like that and bent into shape during bolting.? All i want to do is relax in my workshop and make some damn furniture.....

PS...i did confirm the ground short on the original motor after I removed the wiring harness.
