My blender is about 2 years old now. I've never done this, but I'm wondering if its possible to just replace the blade part instead of having to buy an entirely new blender. Has anyone ever done this?
When your blender gets old: buy a new one or replace the blades?

Recycle it and buy a shiny new one.
The motors in small appliances have the same built in obsolescence as light bulbs. They always burn out after a certain number of hours.
Buying a new blender will give you peace of mind.
If you have your heart set on a repair though, check eBay for parts.

These days any household appliance is like a BIC lighter. If you can replace the blade, you will be replacing the motor soon enough.
I bought a bar blender 40 years ago. I has had lots of use. The motor runs fine and it is on its second set of blades. If the motor ever stops it will probably just need brushes. YMMV. Check with an appliance repair or commercial restaurant equipment service provider.

I also have a bar blender- a lovely parting gift from Expo 86- and it still works perfectly. The commercial-grade motor is beyond anything that the mainstream market has to offer- the sheer weight of it is more than most mere mortals can manipulate. I've tuned up the blades as well.
But for an off the shelf product, I would suggest a Kitchen Aid pro-series at the very least.
You get what you pay for with small appliances....
