Removed motor from cement mixer. Chiseled off chunks of splattered
concrete from motor. Used a bearing puller to remove crusted on small
pulley from motor shaft. While tapping on the end of the puller the motor
shaft suddenly freed up and was able to turn.
Plugged it in and it runs fine. Fairly quiet!

Question: Tear it down further to look at bearings .. or .. use as is.

BTW motor is: Dayton, 1HP, Cap. Start, Therm. Protected model 6K562F.
Took a lot of scrubbing to get that information. Bearings = Ball Note on
nameplate says that they are permanently lubricated and require no further
lubrication. Does this mean they are sealed and water cannot get in?

What would you guys do? Use it as is (while cautiously waiting for
bearing noise to develop) or, make it a new project.


Good motor with "sealed" bearings.
Mark both end shells against the body shell so that you can re-assemble the
same way, but each end likely has small alignment pins. Clean the shaft and
unscrew the end bolts and tap off one end. Look inside before pulling
completely to see if there is anything caught or rubbing. It's easy from
there.
