I ordered a new blower and wasn't aware that they don't come with a power cord, So now I got a power cord and took the cover off the blower and there is 2 wires there that I'm sure are for the hot and neutral wires, But were does the green wire from the power cord go which I'm sure is the ground wire, Thanks

If no screw exists for ground wire drill a hole thru side of connection box and bolt and nut it there after paint scapped away at polnt of contact.

The motor frame should have a ground screw inside where the wire connections are made. Where did the green come off of the old one?

Most always, black is "hot", white is neutral, and green is ground. Ground means the surface or body of the device. The idea is, if the hot wire touches the body of the device it will make the device 120 volts.....one touch, and *Ouch!*. If the device is grounded, when the hot wire touches it, it makes a short circuit & blows the circuit breaker.
