[attachment=20607][attachment=20608][attachment=20609]Here are some pictures of the motor that came with my latest band saw. It came out of a shop where it was cutting aluminum. The saw, pulleys, and stand were all relatively clean and grease free. The motor, however, was covered in a mixture of black grease and aluminum dust. The pictures of the motor are after it's initial clean up. The whole motor looked like the picture showing the wiring connections, which did not have a cover. The motor spins freely and makes no noise, but I am afraid to power it up. The motor weighs about twice as much as the 1/4 hp Craftsman motor in the saw pictures in the other post. Should I just take off the pulley and scrap the motor?
