Default free 7.5hp motor - probable weight? ball bearing or bushings?(four pix)

he he, thanks lar :-)

also, do the two grease fittings indicate this particular motor has
bushings 'instead of' ball bearings?
OR do the grease fittings near the endbells indicate -nothing-, other
than "this motor has grease fittings"?

thanks guys :-)


Good question. Look up "307" and "309" bushings. (Hornady?!?)

Baldors with 254U frames use 6307/6309 ball bearings. shrug


guess they 'changed over to adding the six' prefix, or something, ay?
aww, whatever :-/

so, yeah, ball bearings, thanks ;-)
