Why change it? Just top it off and get back to work, no reason to waste the oil or filter after an hour of use.

Call and talk to someone, it may well still be under warranty.

My vote is that it is a straightedge used when hammer tensioning circular saw blades.

Clearly you're not a lineman. As i said primary fuse is in the can. To take the can off line you open the csp switch and then the tap gets lifted with a hot stick. Been there, done that.

Come to New England, they are quite common. The utility i spent 34 years at uses them on most every single phase transformer, both over head and pad mounted. Not a nightmare for anybody, just another option. Here's a pic of the transformer that feeds my home (different utility from where i...

Some utility transformers have secondary breakers; A Completely Self-Protected (CSP) transformer is a distribution transformer with integrated protective devices—including internal high-voltage fuses, secondary circuit breakers, and lightning arresters. These units, often pole-mounted or...

Inrush current on an induction motor is 6-10x full load current. 78 amps is a realistic value.

I didn't see it mentioned yet but I'd also put at least one exterior outlet on each wall for added flexibility.

Floetrol works good, but i prefer XIM to retard the drying speed of latex paint; https://us.amazon.com/11072-X-Tender-Leveling-Additive-1-Quart/dp/B001NOCL5E?tag=atomicindus08-20

This is the first and best option I'd be persuing, have you explored it yet or are you just assuming the answer is no? Maybe explore a land swap so lot sizes stay the same?

I cut mine into four 2'x4' pieces. Works fine, much easier to deal with.

Woops, my bad. Apologies all.

Did you notice that there ard four current values and two frequencies listed on that nameplate?? First two currents are 2.8/1.4 at 60hz, second two currents of 3.4/1.7 are 50hz. The motor also has two temp ratings and speed ratings for 60/50hz.

To clarify; mine is on the right, opposite of OPs. My suspicion is that the rotor is not symmetric and his motor is assembled incorrectly.

Any chance you put the motor together backwards? Im wondering if the rotor is not centered left to right in the stator?
