Thanks -- so without the handles, just over 42" wide. I think that'll squeeze in nicely!

I've heard the 44" is a nonsense measurement for the width of this box, or that it includes the handles.. Does anyone have correct measurements (width, depth, height EXCLUDING casters) for this box?

I did receive the wiring diagram for this power unit. They apparently use two diff power units on the Max Jax. Mine is the MTE. Strangely it specifies wiring "T7" to the T2/T3 coupling... this is *not* what I ended up with, yet mine still works.. hehe. Will rewire now and see if it still works :D

Here is how I ended up rewiring it, seems to work fine: T1 + Starter Coil ("T7") => L1 T2 + T3 T4 => L2

Could that larger (silver coloured) capacitor be a running capacitor?? I ask because I tried to follow the aforementioned "T5" and the T6 leads and it *looked* like they were coupled (all of this inside the motor housing), hard to tell for sure... That larger capacitor is a 25uF and 480volt...

Is there a test I can do to ensure the phasing is correct? (and by phasing, I assume you mean which hot is connected to T1 and which is connected to T4?) Here's a pic of the starting winding connections in the j-box, showing the capacitors: Here are the other connections:

Unfortunately i just read the label on the start capacitor, and it reads "110VAC"... It looks very much like this, http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/capacitors/motor-supplies/motors/ecatalog/N-9ypZ1z0q7ez?sst=subset, though a slightly different model # (same specs and brand, otherwise.) Am I hosed?

Just popped the end off the motor, there is a centrifugal switch and now the wiring is clear. Wire from one of the windings to one side of the centri switch is labelled T5, wire out from other side of switch is the blank one... so it looks like: T1 - T2 = Run winding 1 T3 - T4 = Run winding 2...

All are yellow :| Coming out of the motor housing into the j-box they are labeled T1, T2, T3, T4, T6, and Blank( though there is a wire labeled T7 coming from one of the capacitors to the wire nut coupling between T1 and T3 (connected to Neutral after the double pole switch). There are two...

I'm guessing L1 (hot) to T1, L2 (hot) to T4, and connect T2 to T3.. But what I'm not clear on are the other two wires that appear to be a starter coil circuit and each have one capacitor wired in series. (Hoping this is not a single voltage motor and needs to be exchanged... :()

Anyone have this info handy? There are 6 taps coming from the motor housing to the j box. T1, T2, T3, T4, T6, and a cryptically labeled T7 (though it is a blank wire going into the actual housing, the wire labeled T7 does go to the starter caps). T1-T2 have continuity T3-T4-T6-T7(blank) have...
