Hello Mike,
I don't have an answer but a question;
Are you replacing an existing 1&1/2 hp motor or are you going from a
230v - 3hp to a 120v -1 &1/2 hp? Just curious.

I don't think you can buy a replacement 1-1/2 HP anywhere. I think
you can get three HP Marathons or Baldors from Woodworkers supply.

You can get a Delta Service motor and I think they are less or about
the same as WW supply. The last I heard, even though original
equipment on Unisaws is now WEG, there is still service stock of
Marathons. Doubt you can specify which but you might get the
Marathon. Go on the Deltawoodworking servicenet and look it up. I
just tried, but alas, I have forgotten my password. Must be old age.

Unfortunately, you just can't go to a motor supplier and get a
standard motor because of the special mount. Unless those old units
had a different mount, but I don't think so.

This is an excellent time to upgrade to 3 HP! <G>

I've actually found my best motor deals, get this... LOCALLY.

Check your local Yellow Pages under "Electric Motor". I've bought
machine motors, spa pump motors, etc... at very reasonable prices.

For CT residents, I've had excellent experience with a motor shop on
Hartford Turnpike in Wallingford, just south of the Oakdale Theatre.
I honestly can't remember the name of the place. He usually needs a
day or two to get the exact fit, but he usually tests the old motor to
see if he can simply replace starters or brushes, before selling me a
new motor. <G>

Grainger is another source, but the little local guy killed Grainger
prices, and Grainger won't test what you've got.

Plaza Machinery or Ebay, which usually has a few of those
1.5hp motors pop up.

Mike,

Unless you no longer have the motor or it is physically wrecked, you might
consider having it rebuilt rather than replacing it ... especially if 1-1/2
HP is sufficient for your needs.

You didn't mention why you need to replace the old motor ... and I'm not
good at guessing!!! :)

Good Grief. The 1/4hp Baldor motor for my rock
polisher lists at $335 for a replacement. I'll
certainly check this place, if I ever need a
replacement.

The best deals on motors I have found are done with a google search. I was
looking for a TEFC 2 HP for my pool and the local people wanted $160.00 to
over $200. Found it for $100 shipped.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply . The motor has a special mount
and no one offers a 1 1/2HP unit anymore seems the replacement is 3HP.

GMTA! I was tempted to just tell him it would cost more than $20 and
less than $500M. I thought that perhaps he would stop, think, and then
realize what an idiotic question he'd just asked.

Then again I'm wondering just how big the existing OEM motor is that he
can somehow fit a 2½ hp motor in the existing one.

I read that too. You aren't the only one who is confused. Now there are at
least three confused people - the OP, you, and me.

I'll do it for $3 Billion. But you have to agree to meet and use your
words to tell me what you actually want.

I just replaced a 2hp 3 phase with a 3hp 1phase on a Unisaw that I picked
up. I could not find a motor locally at a good price and bought one online
from Plaza Machinery, from Bethel, VT. He has quite a few parts for
woodworking and metalworking equipment. I wanted a motor with a good
reputation for being balanced and vibration free, so I went with a Baldor. I
know that there are cheaper brands that might work just fine, but I'm very
happy with the Baldor. I think I paid $375.00 shipped for it.

Don't know what kind of starter you have on the 1.5, but you may need
to get a low voltage starter. Gary Parks Industries. WW supply has
some aslo.
