Are you sure the motor has failed? I have this same motor on my table saw and it is currently out of commission. Mine is out due to the rear bearing seized up. These RM871 motors are notorious for the rear bushing/bearing to fail. If you have not checked the rear bearing yet it may be as simple as changing it. $20 or less and your dad could be back in business.
