Hi Folks, I'm new here,
I got my hands on a 9A from 1947 and I've spent the last few months cleaning and refurbishing it.
It's come out quite nicely but I'm having trouble with the motor.
It runs but it get's really hot, to the point of smoking.
I'm thinking about replacing it and I seem to remember reading somewhere I would need a frame 56 motor.
The bolt pattern, shaft height from base, and shaft size seem to match frame 56 dimensions but the data plate on the motor says H145K
I guess the dimensions matter more than the tag but I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this situation?
Also, the original motor has a big capacitor on it, if I buy a motor should I get one with a cap?
Thoughts before I spend money?
here's the tag, the image I inserted is too small, check the link so you can read it
