Can anyone tell me if an early model Powermatic Model 66 came with a
Leeson 3HP 3PH motor? This one is the emerald green color.
I just bought a used PM 66 Serial number 566054 (have not figured out
when it was made yet - probably in the 70's) for $250. I'm planning on
probably switching the motor to a single phase since I don't have or
plan to have any other 3 PH tools. It seems to run well, but it does
need new belts. It is missing the splitter, but it does have the shaft
that sticks out the back where the splitter attaches. It also has the
cast iron fence. While the table has had some rust on it, it is still
in really good shape.

Leeson was formed in 1972, so it's unlikely. Most likely Baldor, but a very
late green one could have a Leeson I suppose. My gold one from 84 has a
Baldor.

I have a Powermatic 66, emerald green, with a serial number of 266845. Was
told by powermatic customer service the unit was built in 1982. You can
Google "Powermatic" to get to their web site. Have been helpful
