Did you read the last line in parentheses of R72, the rule you quoted??

The only provided or permitted motors are the ones that FIRST gave you in the Kit Of Parts (or their exact replacement). The motor that comes on the shop vac is NOT permitted. As was stated earlier, you have to take the shop vac apart and replace the motor.
We replaced the motor from a cheap Wal mart 1 HP, 1 gallon shop vac with one of the KOP Fisher Price motors. Cut the shaft off the existing motor then ream it on a lathe to a press fit on the Fisher Price shaft - .125 inches. If you try to drill it with an 1/8 inch bit it will most likely be too big. It works perfectly, you can't knock the ball off it.
