I need to replace the motor in my ceiling whole house attic fan but I am having trouble finding a motor with the exact same specs and I don’t know enough to know which are ok to be different. Fan is original to the house built in 1979.

This is what I have:

1/3 hp 115v 60hz 1650rpm 48 frame m 3.6 amp single phase belt motor counter clockwise

I’m finding 1725rmp and higher amps

Can I use a motor with higher rpm and amps? Any recommendations on a specific motor I should use?
