Google it, or, better, find an electric motor repair shop, walk in and ask. They'll probably be able to sell you one. Values are pretty standard, depending on motr size.

Bench height depends on how tall you are. Unless you plan to work sitting down.

Go to Horrible Fright or Princess Auto and eyeball theirs. If the same , price a replacement part. Go from there.

A properly sized rotary convertor will powerthe slave motor at 100% rated power. Or, damn close. Google it.

Turn on a light, take hold of the neutral downstream, tell me what you feel?

Wire brush the crack, weld it up, and move on.

Yup.

Sherwin-Williams bought put Parker. Continued their color codes for a while. I bought the SW and it has exceeded my expectations. I used Parker previously.

A fid?? Also called a marlinspike.

My buddy who owns an electric motor repair shop (yes, he's a dinosaur) calls them escutcheon pins. He stocks them in sevaral sizes. I have "borrowed" them from him. Installs them with a hammer.

You can. Keep in mind that a static converter will only make the motor provide 2/3 (roughly) rated horsepower. This is because the static converter only actually provides two real legs and a "phantom" or "dummy" leg. to get the motor started, using the capacitors to shift the phase of one leg...

Who pays the fiddler, calls the tune.

Most cost effective for me. Tide WITH BLEACH. Sprinkle on the roof everywhere, light dusting works. The Tide holds the bleach in place while it works. Last time I did it was almost two years ago. I should do it again next spring. Never tried copper. Tried zinc strips. They killed moss...
