As to using last years, how could they tell if you do? They look the exact same.

well first of all gracious professionalism will tell you not to do that but there are also differences in the appearance of last years motor vs this years

last year had a completely round casing around the motor windings , and output shaft with a flat then a space and then treads, as well as a waffle pattern on the back of the gear casing


this year has a more square casing, a different flat/thread pattern on the shaft, a flat back on the gear case, and a different hole pattern

any inspector with any experience should be able to tell the difference almost instantaneously
