Marathon electric motor wiring help

[FordMustangKingCobra]

I believe it's currently hooked up for low voltage, usually I can figure these out pretty quickly when it comes to attaching a power cord but this one is just confusing me for some reason...

You have it wired up properly for low voltage.
Hook supply cord black to motor blue and supply cord white to what is with the yellow wire nut.

Supply green to motor frame.

Leave orange wire nut as is.

All right thank you that's what I thought but I just wanted to make sure.

I got this motor for free from dead air compressor, I figured it's the same RPM that is supposed to go on my drill press so I figured it'll go on my Walker Turner since it doesn't have a motor

2 HP seems like way too much motor for a drill press.

Most drill presses are top heavy with a ¾ HP motor and a 2 HP seems likely to triple the weight. Seems likely to fall over on its back if you look at hard.

It is scarry enough when the ¾ HP drill grabs and rips something from my hands. I know it a bad idea and everything should be clamped. 2 HP at 300 RPM is enough torque to pull you in and wrap you around the spindle.

No way the factory switch is rated for 2 HP it seems likely to weld its contacts and get stuck in the on-position.

That motor is a great score save it for compressor, planer, saw or sander.

Two Horse Power on a Home shop drill press is like a V8 on a Moped.

Just for info, the shaft is 7/8".
