In the process of finding this I unnecessarily had removed the motor. I noted that the yoke that engages the chopper unit was a bit worn, but installed the new chopper and tried it. I still had the same noise which is coming from the chopper. I can only assume the yoke is too worn, but looking for that part it appears I need to replace the entire motor. Say it ain't so! The motor runs fine. Sorry I could not give you a better model nuumber but my now ex-wife must have removed the sticker at some point. Thanks. John
