Found the motor!
powerglide p/n 523143, no movement when power is applied, very greasy.
On ebay motor is 670+
The manufacturer didn't make the motor, they had someone else do it then they resell it. me, I would look up the specs in granger or Mc.Master carr . Is there someone nearby that rebuilds motors, another option.
I found out the 300 dollar motor used in quikee type retractable steps is the same motor they used in a Ford power window, it cost me 47 dollars at napa. Do some research and save some dough.
i just looked it up, it is a simple motor connected to a gearbox, the greasiness you experienced most likely is the gear box leaking. Not knowing your wrenching abilities I would take apart the gear box and check that first then research a motor for that. Have you determined it isn't jammed.
Found others at 399 complete if you want to go that route. Do a bigger search on e bay.
