    Inspecting under the connection plate of the old Baldor, looks like someone was trying to reverse the direction without Clue One on hand. Schematic is inside the cover!

    But starting there confirmed all the stators seem fine, continuity and similar ohms at least. This rusty old dried up, cast iron relic is going to run!

    This motor has a 1" shaft (same bench I reload on, calipers handy), pretty long, like maybe a triple or quad belt pulley with a keyway, 1725RPM. Quality piece! Things were built stronger in the '50s.

    It needs bearings, and HOW!
    What ever thrust management system in use will need some serious shimming.
    I won't know next steps until I get it apart.
    Cleaning will be first, so yuck time soon!

    I don't need another motor, but I could not pass up this old gem! ... not for two bucks or even twenty.

    yup the church sponsored some immigrants back in 1957, which is why I know there is a legal way through hard work and effort there is a way to citizenship. That and I was their anchor baby :): Back then you actually had to learn the language and pass a test to qualify

    About nap time. I think I'm going to mow again even though I just did it on Thursday. Supposed to rain Tuesday and I'm off Friday but it's supposed to rain Friday and Saturday.

    Ole Waylon found a bumble bee on the ground, I assume due to the cold. It was still alive. He hates them since he got stung by one when he was a puppy. I think he got stung on his right paw and in his mouth attacking it.
