I bought a TC500 treadclimber 4 and 1/2 years ago and the motor went out. Went ahead and bought a new treadclimber because I liked the first one so much and felt it a necessary part of nearly daily exercise. New one works great and a little easier to put together than the old one. A little heavy to move around. After getting the new treadclimber, I called to see if the old one could be fixed and I was sent a new motor for free! The motor warrenty is for 5 years. I am a little intimidated by replacing the motor in the old machine. Be sure to lubricate the treads every 3 months or so, as motor failure can be caused by not lubricating them.
