I'm pretty sure they offered a premium version for just a couple of dollars more.
It came with this...

The motor was made in July 1956. Century Electric started in 1900. Now owned by Magnetek Century Electric. I have a Marathon Electric motor on my Delta Contractor table saw. It is also 1.5 HP. 115/230 volt, 12.8/6.4 Amp. Made in 1994 roughly. Compared to this 1956 Century motor. 115/230 volt, 19/9.5 Amp. Mine is 3450 compared to this ones 1750 rpm. My motor is a smaller diameter. Electric motors have changed over the years.

I dunno, those belts look kind of light for the amount of blower
they're driving.

Wouldn't that depend on what they are made of?

I'm guessing that they aren't a $20 Valucraft belt from AutoZone.

I'm certain the belts are fine. Modern belts are very strong.
