Yeah the correct motor is avail. Conquest is made by rheem, rheem still uses that silly motor to this day. You should have to replace any blower motor more then once. The poblem with the bands is all the pressure is in the center and not spread out through the whole frame like the oem motor, while it may of lasted 8 your going to be in the same boat a few years down the road, the torque that motor almakes is now on those bands in the center of the motor vice on the end of the motor frame like oem. Its hard to really explain over the internts as I have a hard time explaining via typing. But a true professional would of got you that motor and had all the proper tools to change the motor and not try to sell you something You don't need. All in all you fix will get you by for a time but I see the same problem happening again down the road. Btw did you replace the capacitor as well??
