That's exactly what I mean!

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.


GE are like top of the line motors, I've never had a problem with them.
I remember a summer job in building maintenance, where the building
engineer sent me over there to pick up a 7.5hp GE motor, cause he was
tired of screwing with a re-build or other motor problems.


Hey, I use to work for GE Apparatus Services. We rewind all kind of motors, I
mean the real big (HP) one, the smaller one we subcontract it to smaller shops.
We also repairs industrial gas Turbines and power generation stuff all over the
world.

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


Good folks, I've been dealing with them for 30 years. Of course, being
local, I can just take the old motor in, and say "one of these, please",
which is what I did a couple of winters ago, with my furnace motor.


They seem rather honest and tell you as it is and not blown it out of proportion
like my ShopVac "6.3 PEAK HP". I could barely lift a real NEMA "3HP" -
