I have no experience with motors. Please listen to the entire video (after i shut the motor off). Also, is it worth replacing the wires that disappear into the motor housing? I don't want to replace every wire but those ones while i have this thing torn apart. I am not sure if the motor is something that should be disassembled. Thanks!
How does my motor sound?

New bearings would be in order for sure. Other than that it sounds good. I have a 1-1/8 hp Emerson with new bearings left over from my PowerPro upgrade. It came from a 1997 Mark V and I replaced the bearings before I upgraded to PP. PM if you're interested in upgrading your Greenie.
The next time you think your idea is stupid, remember someone in a meeting once said, "let's make a movie about tornadoes full of sharks!"

I agree about the bearings.
Here is my motor guide: https://forum.shopsmith.com/viewtopic.php?t=12664
The internals of the GE and the AO Smith motors (both 3/4 and 1&1/8 HP) are basically the same.
