I have and old treater pellet furnace. Lower auger motor is bad.

Any help finding a dealer or store would be greatly appreciated. 22 deg. tonight and can't find anyone selling these motors.
Thank you.

Thank you for the reply.
I can find many that do not meet the requirements.
Looking for,
115v. 60 hz. .80 amps.
6 RPM.

S3084D
RC34205.
Coil # 100-263.

I have tried a few with numbers that were close and the motors or gear boxes are not interchangable for one reason or another.

Thank you.

Exactly.....
 
Has to be a Treager. No 'treaters' exist except at Halloween... The do make nice pellet BBQ's, I have one. Their 'flavored' pellets are insane expensive though.
 
Sidecar Costco has Traeger pellets, there own custom blend, for 19.99 for a 33lb bag. That's a little more than half price. I have a Traeger also and I'm very happy with it.

I'll have Amy check that out. Been getting them at the local ACE hardware, very expensive. Great grill.
 
They're Traeger Gourmet blend> They come in a nice heavy duty resealable bag. Deliver a light smoke taste.

Last spring I trimmed a couple apple trees we have of dead branches and cut them up into small pieces and added them to the pellets for the Trager. Worked pretty well. No point in relegating the apple wood to the burn pile.
