Good point. Motor says 10.6 at 115

I checked the amps on it yesterday and it’s only pulling about 8 amps. I have it on a 120 volt 20 amp circuit.

Guess i need to check the amp draw on the new motor. If it is pulling too much i want to try to change the pulleys to bring it down. Cannot find a site to give me the correct size for this size fan and motor i have. Thanks

Not sure. Did not or do not remember the hp on the original and i think i just threw it out. Shame to get old. Seems that i changed it because it was overheating also but assumed it was because it was 30 years old.

I have a six blade 42 inch fan that i am using for a shop fan. Just replaced the motor and now it shuts off on high heat. The motor is a 3/4 hp 1750 rpm. Looks like the pulleys are 2 inch on the motor and 14 inch on the fan blade. Should i up size the motor or change the pulley sizes. Thanks
