Hi,
I am looking for advice on starting up a reluctant motor.
I have inherited a very old Delta jointer that came with a very old 1hp 3450 rpm Montgomery Wards motor. It runs but it does that thing where it will buzz when you turn it on initially and the shaft looks like it is trying to decide which way it is going to turn. I give it a helpful push and it slowly gets up to speed. I had a similiar problem on a very, very old Delta Radial Arm Saw motor and I am thinking that the solution with that was to clean out the motor as best I could and get a new capacitor. I do not see a capacitor, that hump I see on all other motors, on this. I can live with having to nudge the belt when I run it but I'd rather fix it if I can.
I would also like to get any information that I can on this motor. It clearly says "Montgomery Wards" on it and it is huge compared to the size of all my other motors. On the tag it says:
Amps 14.2/7.1
Does that give me any information on the actual power of the motor? I am thinking of using it for my table saw if I can mount it and if it is substantially more power. Can I just compare AMP ratings to determine the actual ooomph of the motor? It also has this on the tag as a model numbers:
YWL-4669 - Model
311P199-A MFG number
Any info would be most appreciated.
Thanks very much,
Jim Lee
