Trash or treasure?

Sophie: I would hang on to that motor.

What are you doing with the rest of the saw, I have a 34-600 that needs some parts. If you are selling the saw or parting it out send me a PM.

Thanks

PM sent.

Like the others say ... it's small and easy to store, not worth much to sell and versatile with it's reversible windings and double ended shaft. If you have a rathole for it, put it in there.

it has a shaft on both ends. most motors don't
that means it can be used in more ways.
you probably won't retire early on what its worth

It never hurts to have a spare motor on hand, for the little space it takes. A 3450 rpm motor isn't usually as useful as a 1725 but if you already have it...

I am reselling a Delta Homecraft TS that came equipped with a Delta 3/4 HP 3450rpm motor. It needs a new cord, but it runs. Neighbour (mechanic) laid his hands on it while it was running and says bearings need to be replaced. I have other vintage Delta machines so I am weary of letting go of it (you never know when you might need another motor). Someone please tell me, is this motor worth keeping? I have another motor for the TS so if I keep the Delta motor, it’s just a question of swapping the pulleys.

Thoughts?
