I was wanting to explore substituting a different/similar motor from my extras, for a burned-out original Oreck Dutchtech DTX1400 motor.

Anyone have any thoughts/tips/suggestions?

The original motor mount hardware seems specific to the Oreck motor. I am guessing whatever I do, I have to stabilize the motor withing the motor housing.

Doing a search for it It looks a lot like the motor that's in my Nilfisk GM80 I wonder if the replacement motors for those would be compatible? perhaps someone else can chime in on this

Devin,

you are a genius! That is it! I don't have a Nilfisk motor. Why in the world did I through the old motor out before making a note of the specs.

Based on the prices I have seen for Nilfisk, the motor may be more expensive than to buy another Dutchtech.

Thanks, I appreciate you!

Remember that the Dutchtech was originally made by Philips of the Netherlands….not sure if Phillips supplied the 120 volt motors for these North American versions of this vac.

Brian,

you may be right. I actually ordered Menalux hepa cloth bags from Norway just so I would have readymade cloth bags.

Took 2 weeks.

I'll look on their website just for kicks.

Cheers.

I think Philips called this canister the Philips “Oslo” and the model number also began with the letters TSX.

Performance Reviews did a video on how to take apart the DutchTech…I’ll post the link….

Yes, I saw that,

I will say he blocked his work during some of the video.

I think I have a plan now. The rear motor stabilizer from my parts machine, is different from the one I found on Ebay. Looks like there may have been a different motor used instead of the one I originally had.

The stabilizer I ordered, appears to be able to be used with a different style motor because the of its design.

I will see.

Good luck on the project Garry! The Dutchtech was a very good cleaner.

Still

have not located a motor in my garage to substitute for the original motor that came with the Dutchtech. I have 2 adapters and no motor. I considered opening up an older Kenmore canister (teal) but chickened out because it is in really good shape. Last year, I donated several types of motors to a friend to use at her repair shop. Now that I need one, nothing.

As for that Kenmore, I plan to clean it up and try and find a matching PN.

Wish me luck!
