All of the credit goes to Julius @"Pardue101" for finding and specing this blower. This only applies to the nose mounted Kohler gensets as far as I know.
Grainger #1XJY4 is a drop in for the existing motor and belt driven blower. Be advised Newell welded a flange on the blower outlet to enable mounting to the coach. I simply cut the flange off the old one and welded it to the new one.
Make sure you order the 220V model.
The direct drive is much quieter than the original. I did not measure it with a dB meter, but Rhonda commented immediately. I decided to replace my original because the bearings were getting noisy again.
I don't know why anyone would want or need the old blower, but I'll keep it for a little while.
I do have a newish drive motor that I will put in storage, but you have to come here to pick it up, or I will bring to the next rally.
