It was not cheap. Glad to have her running after a long sit. Used oversize 10 gauge wire. Making sure there was little resistance. Tight spot to work in. Used stainless allen head bolts. Lock washers both sides. Used a grinder to remove the old bolts as they were rusted and difficult to remove. [img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5822/30340731334_06c6cc3700_b.jpg" alt=" "

I see it's a double shaft motor. Is there a vibration mechanism that the belts connect to on rest of the tumbler. I am not familiar with the Viking unit.

Yay! Hope that new motor gives you as many miles as the original. Has sleeves instead of bearings and a much lower service factor(SF). Old school will out last this one hands down. If yours says GE then you got the old reliable. However, judging from the wires it looks like another motor was spliced in before this one. Guessing this one has had some extensive use.
