I got two 1ph electric motors from industrial blowers. They are ODP enclosure with on/off switch. Shaft is standard 1 1/8 suggesting they are at least 3hp.
Both plates with numbers on these motors are gone - somehow they got ripped off.
My main question is regarding speed - is it 1750 or 3500. Its not that easy to tell from motors running.
Motors are bit old - they have grease fittings for both bearings. They are heavy - 80 to 100+ lbs.
I don't have a tachometer - is there some easy way to tell?
