My 13 x 40 Jet lathe motor gave up the goast. Turn it on and it
hums. It is against the wall so it is hard to see the motor but I
see capacitor gue coming out of it.

it is a 2 HP 220 VAC Capacitor start induction motor. Anyone know if
it is 1700 RPM or 3200 RPM motor?


I recently had the same failure on a grizzly 1236.
the caps were marked but I couldn't get the same size cap at Grainger.
I needed the lathe up quick so I wired new caps (replace both while
you're at it) in and made a new cover.

These are pretty standard values and ratings and the HVAC industry
uses them all.
