Hello all, I replaced the relay (blown coil) and the capacitor . The well pump is back running. Thank you to everyone for input and offers of materials.!
The well pump feeds outside faucets only and we have a bit of sediment and iron in the water. Last night the pump was running with the jumpered capacitor and seemed fine, but it only ran for a few minutes. I purchased a Dayton from Grainger that should have been an exact match, though the...
I received the capacitor but it is slightly larger and the terminals do not align. I am going to keep looking for one that is a better match. I did jumper it to see if it works, and the pump started up and I had water flowing. The capacitor gets hot (you can still touch it but it is hot). I...
Thank you all for responding and sharing information. That was exactly the type of catalog pdf I was looking for, but never found.
This one looks to be very close. A little shorter and larger.

The run capacitor is a 10MFD rated at 370/440V. Can we learn anything from the sizing of the run capacitor to help with the start capacitor sizing, or is that only dependent on the motor windings? The one I listed is very close in physical size to the old unit. I measured the old unit at 1.25"...
Thanks. This might be as close as I can find.

Hello, the well pump failed and it is from the 50's. The numbers on the start capacitor have somewhat worn off. I am looking for help sourcing this or a similar sized capacitor. General Electric 35F1108BA1, and then 1887433. May be 266 uF. Please see the picture. Thanks for your help.
I added thick conveyor belt to all three impeller blades to an old 70's Noma 10hp 32' wide blower. I think it helped, but the second stage impeller is undersized on this blower (they used the same size for 24,28, and 32" models).
