Well it let go today, stalled while I didn't notice and it died. Starter
winding gone. It's done sterling service for about 6 years now so its
not that bad. My problem is the motor plate give most details but not
the RPM and neither does the manual. Anyone know the standard motor RPM
for these beasts. I'm in the UK so 240V 50Hz .

The Harbor Freight version is 110V 60Hz but I would think the pulleys and
RPM would be the same. According to their manual it calls for a 1720 RPM
motor.

It's on page 4:

Thanks for the info. I just went and checked the pulley and wheel sizes
and the worm ratio to validate it, it'll be a 1425rpm motor on UK 50Hz.
Glad I checked as the worm and wheel are on their last legs. Had problem
with the engagement when I bought it and the mesh was so bad the motor
would hardly turn it. Got a bit of servicing and adjustment to do later
in the week, Good thing is MachineMart in the UK who supplied it has the
worm and wheel as spares and they'll be with me in 2 - 3 days for £17.45
total, about $31 US.

The usual motor speed in the UK will be the same as here in Aus. Nominally
1440 rpm.

Thanks for the info. I just went and checked the pulley and wheel sizes
and the worm ratio to validate it, it'll be a 1425rpm motor on UK 50Hz.

Oops, I should've realized the speed would be different because of the
frequency difference. I didn't do so well in the motor portion of my
schooling. Didn't care about them and couldn't imagine I would ever need it
in the future. :-)

Glad you found what you need!
