This motor was covered in saw dust attached to a homemade cart which supported a very old horizontal sander. See my listing for "Production Machine Co". I asked the estate sale dude to plug it in and turn it on. He did, (IT STARTED TO MY SURPRISE) and then said very quickly to unplug it . The motor purrs like a kitten with a nice light show when initially switched on. Only rubbed it down, had allot of grease on it, helped preserve it. Details of motor are on pic three.
