one what? motor? flat capacitor?

Is this a start only capacitor? Or a start and run? and what capacitance range?

A separate but related question. I have found a similar motor but it is 3/4 HP and 3450 RPM; so twice the speed. Would this make the speed too fast to use in metals?

the windings are good; the motor runs well if I help it start by hand

yes per the original post, I can start the motor by turning by hand

Refer to my original post - the motor will run if I help it start with a little hand spinning.

1. no it did not run properly prior to my "rework"; it smoked and it shocked me but at the same time it would run with a load attached. Now it does not smoke nor shock me but will not start under load. and no, I am not absolutely certain I reassembled it correctly. I found it really...

the capacitor is not mounted on the surface like modern motors. It is a rectangular capacitor enclosed under the base.

Sorry, yes it is the 103.23130 drill press and I am in Santa Fe, TX just south of Houston. the issue is not finding appropriate HP and shaft size, but matching the mounting mechanism.

am ready to give up on my original motor for my Craftsman Model 100. I spent hours and hours trying to do what I could to rebuild it. cleaning, replacing some brittle wires, bearings, etc. It starts and runs fine with no load but when I put the belt on it, it will not start, not even on the...

that would be fantastic if you have a spare

so yes, you and I have the same machine. My motor is D4 48 so I guess 4th week of April 1948. My father in law said he thought he had bought it in 1948. Sears and Roebuck catalog! And I did the exact same stupid thing dropping the motor and mount together. So frustrating. The machine...

"cut if off"... sounds simple but could you help me out a little more? Cut it with what and cut it where? Are you implying that if I don't cut it off it will vibrate?

I incorrectly stated 103.23120. It is 103.23130 instead.

sorry, I see that I wrote these down wrong in my original post. I have the 103.23130.
