looks good to me, nice fix! Spin the motor by hand a few times first just to make sure there are no spots where it binds.
The plastic fan fell part about 4 years ago on my mill which will sometimes run upto 2 hours consistently to Finish a job ,I've been lazy and never replaced it however the motor has never had an isue it's still going now and gets used quite a lot ,I don't have vfd so motor runs at 1500 constant ,I really don't think the fans they fit on these Chinese motors do a great deal to be honest .I used to worry about it but that's gone out the window I have been waiting for it to say good night and die now for four years so as I can purchase a 3 phase motor and vfd drive however I don't think it's going to give me that luxury just yetFor continuous running you definitely need a fan, but on a drill press where its intermittent use you may get away without it. Don't know. When using a VFD to slow the motor the built in fan would be pretty much useless.

AsI thought I would need the fan for cooling ?
