I am hoping that someone else has had experience with the electric motor for
this unit. After finally getting all the parts that I needed for a used unit
I picked up, upon start up for a first test run, I discovered a problem with
the lower bearings as well as the enclosed fan for the motor.
The bearing were no problem getting replacements by OEM manufacturer
(upgraded bearings in fact) but the electrical motor had no info plate on
it. WHM sells only a complete motor replacement and manual gives no hint as
to manufacturer. Without some info, I have found it near impossible to
locate the replacement part online. During the week I plan on hitting a
couple of local shops looking for part. Anyone have any idea as to the
manufacturer of the 2 hp motor in thia unit??, if nothing else, for future
reference..

Pull it out and take it to any decent motor shop\electric supply
\Grangers and they should be able to tell at a glance. Most likely a
TEFC 56 NEMA frame. If you tell them it is woodworking equipment, they
can look up the typical units used for that application. Jet surely
uses standard stuff and it should be real easy to replace it. New
probably about $250.

How hard would it be to make an adapter to allow usage of a 56 frame motor
in a shaper which was designed for a special frame?
