Vintage Baldor Grinder ID

[calandrod]

My father in law gave me this very old Baldor. I’m trying to identify what year it is because I haven’t seen the squarish versions before. He inherited it from his Grandpa. It runs unbelievably smooth but I can’t seem to figure out what year it is. The data plate is very faded but it says “Type P8925”. Anybody here know anything about it?

While not the same, our motor plates seem to be from the same era. I tried contacting Baldor and they were not able to identify my motor with the numbers it had on it but said that it was very old and unusual with the Baldor logo in the casting base.

Contact them, your numbers might work.
