Dan, I bought a Model 71 at an online auction. Figured I would change the motor to a single phase. My issue is the motor plate is missing and I dont know the HP or the frame number of the motor. Would you mind letting me know what yours says? Thanks in advance

"Dan" started this thread 16 years ago. You might be better off searching for a catalog or manual online. Try VintageMachinery.org for old catalogs and manuals. My experience is more power is better. Love my 3-hp Unisaw and wouldn't want less. Find the biggest motor you can afford that matches the shaft size of what you have and is compatible with you electric supply. Matching the mount or adapting something to fit shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Good luck!
