Good site lot of info. But it did not explain "Farm Duty"?
I check GE 1-1/2hp Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled", price as low as $147 and over
$250. Grizzley selling "same" Emerson's assembled in US or imported for the
$149.95.

I can understand "marketing forces", it's like telling 1/2 truth or comparing
apple with pear.

By the way if I decided to replace the motor I will get it from them. Thanks

Sorry to change the subject slightly, but still on Crapsman's motor.
I have been planning to replace my 1HP motor and I just could not figure which
motor to buy or who is really telling the truth, especially "Farm Duty", is this
electrical motor more heavy duty than commercial industrial motor?

Look at the website which I'll leave below, they have a wealth of
information on how to select the right replacement motor, and FAQ's and
more information. Great read.

Duty is rated as service factor, where 1.0 = published HP. A service
factor more than 1 means it can deliver more than the rated HP.

Further, almost every domestic household appliances, electrical motor advertize
something like "9 Peak HP" or 3HP when it's really a fractional HP motor when
using NEMA standard?

Can you say "marketing forces"? Again, look at the emotorstore.com
site, they have a lot of info that explains what you need to look for in
a motor, and what the terms mean.
