What's wrong with the motor?  Does it just need new brushes?  They are replaceable. 
Several folks I know have done it.  You take the old ones out, take them to an
electric motor supply house, and get brushes that are similar, and grind them down
to fit the brush holder.  I haven't done it, but I know someone who has, and I can
get specifics from him.
