Is this some sort of very special blower?  I am sure the 
thing is older than Christmas and probably needs to be 
replaced even if it does have provisions for oiling.  In 
fact, if it does have provisions for oiling, it definately 
needs replacement because it probably has not seen a drop of 
oil since the first gulf war and the bearings are fried 
beyond resucitation.

Most of the surplus catalogs I have seen offer all manner of 
blowers at very reasonable prices.
