Actually it probably was the dish. Being a solid dish it caught wind instead of much passing through as a mesh dish does. This caused untold stress on the motor casing which led to breakage. The motor casing itself may be of poor design but the dish catching all that air definitely helped with the demise.
I would not think a motor rated for the size dish it had installed would break under 30mph winds.
