Harbor Freight sells replacement motors for their 4x6. The PDF says "call for pricing" but IIRC it was in the $50-60 range. Pre-inflation.....but back then it was the least-expensive motor I found.
Something I was cutting shifted and jammed the blade, stalling the motor. It overheated and burned out some of the connector wires on the inside, but it was external, not in the windings. The wires overheated, softened the insulation and shorted out. I took the motor apart, repaired the connector wires and saved myself some money. It might be worth the time to take yours apart, maybe the same thing happened.
I didn't find a thermal fuse in my motor. I guess the buck or two it cost was too much
