I have a 2hp Dayton (Grainger) model# 6K393N that has a missing
capacitor, I pulled the covers to check them, and one side, the longer
cover was empty, just the 2 wires. I'm hoping someone has one with
that model # that would be kind enough to look to see what value the
missing cap should be. There have to be 1000's of those out there, I
got it in a deal a while back, & hadn't tried to use it till the other
day, it didn't take long to find the problem, but now to find out what
cap it takes.....

Grainger which distributes Dayton brand motors sells parts for many of the
things in their inventory. I would try giving them a call.

Sounds like the 5 mfd. is the run capacitor and the 16 may be for
'Power Correction Factor'?
As Tony Hwang mentions there should be info via Google.

I would expect the 16 mfd cap is a start capacitor.

Run capacitors are always in the circuit (start caps only while
starting) so they are more substantial - don't use a 'start' capacitor.
