I have no idea what the motor circuit looks like but a quick answer is that since the rheostat worked but got hot, the amperage rating was too low.  Measuring/knowing the amperage draw of the motor would be necessary before you could determine which rheostat to get.
Thanks for letting me know that I need a rheostat with higher amp capability. I can't find any info on the motor so I am at a loss of how many amps it takes. At least I know I need a rheostat that can handle more amps.Thanks again for the info

I would concentrate on Sparks' reply above.  He is quite familiar with this power feed circuit.
