There is a CRAFTSMAN MOTOR for every need
NEW "SAFEST" GRINDING WHEEL
With The RIGHT CRAFTSMAN MOTOR A Motor Is Better Than Muscles
Yesterday, every household, farm and production task had to be done the hard way - by physical labor. Jobs like heating and refrigeration, sharpening tools, carpet sweeping, loading a silo - even the simple necessity of drawing water — all required muscles . and lots of your own energy.
Today, silent, efficient dependable electric motors do all these chores - and hundreds more. Motors are used for just about every kind of work: Garbage disposal, dishwashing, polishing - and heavy-duty labor and production jobs too numerous to mention. Count the electric motors serving you. You'll be surprised at the number.
As wonderfully designed and miracle-working as most motors are, there are limits to the size of load that each can carry - to the neglect and abuse that each can suffer without, damage. You don't expect too much of your muscles. It's just as unreasonable to ask more of a motor than it is designed to give.
Before putting your new motor to work, do it and yourself — the favor of learning something about it. Read this booklet. It tells you how to judge whether or not you have the right motor for your job. It also tells you how to install and maintain your motor so that it will serve you faithfully and tirelessly.

less your job requires a "tailor-built" motor the chances are better than 9 to 1 that you will find the right motor in one of these four Sears classifications.
Because there are four different groups, with many sizes in each group,
your task of finding the right motor might still be difficult, except for the help Sears gives vou. Sears Selection and Identification Data make your selection easy. This booklet will also help.

WHY THERE ARE DIFFER ENT KINDS OF MOTORS
ported by wires in the form of current There are different kinds DC (direct current) electricity "flows" (like water in a pipe) always in one direction: AC (alternating current) electricity "flows" out then back in equal amounts. Both currents travel at 186,000 miles per sec. - but AC can be made to change its direction with different rapidity (frequency). If it changes 120 times per sec (so that it makes 60 round trips - out and back to generator - per sec.) we call it 60-cycle AC. Also used are 25- and 50-cycle
In addition to different frequencies AC is
also supplied in different phases. Singlephase AC is one current occupying the generators) flowing together in the same wires but with the periods of cycling staggered. For instance. 3-phase ACconsists of three currents changing their di-
Every current requires a circuit an unbroken ''path'' from the generator to the device using the electricity, and back to the generator. This circuit is formed by conductors (usually wires) enclosed by non-conductors The amount of current "flowing" in a conductor at any instant is

Power companies supply current at certain offer a resistance to current flow which to distance. Despite the use of devices
there usually is a voltage drop at the point where a current is put to work. Hence, the standard furnished voltages are correctly stated as 115V (approx.), 230V (approx.), and 440V (approx.).
Generally, a 2-wire service (into a building) indicates 115V, 60-cvcles, singlephase AC: 3 wires can be 230V ditto (especially in a city) which can be split to make two 115V circuits or it can be 3-phase, 60-cycle AC at 230V or 440V (especially in rural areas) There are of course exceptions Over 90% of the service to U.S. homes, offices, farms and small businesses is single-bhase, 60cycle AC. either at 115V or 230V.
EACH TYPE OF MOTOR IS DESIGNED FOR A PURPOSE
The earliest kind, DC motors are still used for some purposes,
In a simple, Series Wound DC motor, current "flows" through the wires of a field (stationary part) then through wires on an armawhich rub a commutator on the shaft. In "flowing" it makes the south (S) poles with like poles adjacent. But like poles repel each other — so the armature rotates 180° to place the unlike each other - so the armature rotates 180 to place the minute poles (which attract each other) adjacent. However, each time the armature rotates 180° the commutator reverses current alike. Hence the armature continutes to rotate
and the load placed on it, but is powerful at starting. There are also Shunt-Wound and Compound-Wound DC motors.
SINGLE-PHASE AC MOTORS
will consider only the Repulsion and Induction types. The other 2 are: Series-Wound (see Universal Motors), and Synchronous
REPULSION MOTOR
This is like the Series-Wound DC motor - excent that the brushes are connected together, instead of in series with the field. When N and S poles) is created in the armature by an electrical process called induction . Therefore, the motor will run without the supply current flowing through the armature. It has a powerful starting ability, due to the brushes - but (also due to
INDUCTION MOTOR
When the Repulsion motor (above) is running, a flux (magnetic field) is created by the field magnets which will induce the needed polarity (existence of N and S poles) in the rotating part, without the aid of brushes and a commutator. These parts can be omitted, and we have an Induction motor — and the armature is now called a rotor and the field is called a stator . Some rotors
are wire wound; some (squirrel-cage, type) simply have a series of copper bars embedded in a soft iron core, or are diecast
The induction motor has big advantages over other types: It will run practically without loss of speed due to current or load variations, up to the limit of capacity; and is very efficient. But it is not self-starting, so various starting devices are used:
A SPLIT-PHASE motor is an induction motor with a starting winding added to the stator, and arranged to be cut out by a loads where high starting current is not a problem.

A REPULSION-INDUCTION motor is a Repulsion motor with a centrifugal switch to cut out the brushes after starting. In some types the brushes are also lifted off the commutator. This motor motor but running as an Induction motor.
POLYPHASE (3-PHASE) AC MOTORS
A 3-PHASE motor is "strictly" an Induction type. It uses 3-phase current (top of page) and is like three separate, single-phase that each exerts its 'peak pull' during 1/3 of a cycle, while the other two are not at their ."peak pull" positions. It has a very powerful start, and a great overload capacity.
UNIVERSAL MOTORS
These are really Series-Wound AC motors designed to perform well on both single-phase AC and DC. Because they will develop destructively high speeds under no load, they are usually used as integral motors in hand power tools or for specific applica-
CAPACITOR-START INDUCTION TYPE
3-PHASE INDUCTION TYPE
All General-Purpose Split-Phase and Capacitor Motors (Pages 8-9) HAVE THESE SEARS FEATURES
LIFETIME LUBRICATION
All ball-bearing motors have bearings sealed in with a special formula, top-quality grease that assures long, trouble-free service.
The 2-pole sleeve-bearing motors are fitted with 100% felt wicking that holds a large reserve of oil in suspension and distributes oil over bearing surface. Oil slingers on shaft prevent leakage.
Both above types require no lubrication throughout normal motor life.
LEAK-PROOF OILER
General-purpose sleeve-bearing motors have a new type oil-cup plug securely fitted into the end shield to provide constant pressure between the felt wick and motor shaft. Plug is self-sealing, leakproof; the improved wick and packing assure ample oil storage and uniform distribution.
EXTRA COOL OPERATION
Either an extra large "booster" fan with baffles (2-pole models), or two fans — one at each end (all other models) provide positive motor cooling. The resulting uniform, top-efficient cooling helps prevent motor burnout.
TOUGH MYLAR INSULATION
Has 35 times greater moisture resistance and 8 times greater physical strength than ordinary insulation . gives maximum protection.
DEPENDABLE STARTING
Improved type centrifugal governors assure "sure-fire" starts — every time and longer trouble-free life.
NEMA-TYPE BASES
All motors have NEMA standard mounting bases... which assures easy, simple application on any equipment manufactured with provisions for NEMA-type mounting.
PERFORMANCE TESTED
Each motor is individually tested before it is packed to ensure maximum performance and quality. Each design of motor is built to perform at the very top of its NEMA band rating ... thus ensuring full rated HP and performance.
ANY POSITION OPERATION
New, improved oil retention designs of all sleeve-bearing motors now makes it unnecessary to mount such motors upright. With this new feature all Sears motors (sleeve as well as ball bearing) can be mounted in any position . with shaft up, down, or at any angle!
BUILT-IN GROUND LUG & CONDUIT CONNECTION
These make it easy to make permanent ground connection and/or conduit line connections.
LIGHT-WEIGHT, HEAVY-DUTY CONSTRUCTION
Streamline designs reduce weight up to 30% . but increase ruggedness and service life of motors. 2-pole models have fully guarded, strong die-cast shells. Other models have new full-size, straight shafts that provide larger bearing surfaces . also, improved rotor design that eliminates all electrical noises.
CUSTOM ENGINEERED
Each motor is custom designed for a specific line of applications. No compromises are necessary with this complete Sears line. There is a motor designed for every job.
DUST-PROOF SWITCH
Sawdust, lint and other foreign matter cannot cause motor failure because all vital contact points are permanently shielded and protected. This important feature gives Sears fractional hp motors a marked superiority for many tool, appliance and blower applications.
QUICK-CONNECT TERMINALS
Simplified, readily accessible terminal board with plug-in, quick-connect wiring tabs cut wiring time in half. These make it easy to reverse rotation or to change for voltage on models designed for 115/230V.

If you push a car from a standing start on a level road, it takes an extra
effort to start the car, then a smaller (but steady) effort to keep it rolling —
with occasional spurts of extra effort (again) as the car rolls over humps.
It's the same with a motor attached to a load. Therefore a motor is said to be
capable of so much starting torque (push), so much running torque and so

Therefore, most motors are made to allow 10% voltage variation without

STARTING AND RUNNING at starting (or for temporary overloads), and so many (generally only 1/3 to 1/4 of the starting amps) for normal running. If you connect to the right power supply you needn't worry about having tween the power source and your motor (wires that are too small can't carry enough amps). When choosing these wires, be sure to have them big enough to carry the starting amps, not just the running amps.
Induction-type motors run at practically constant speed (unless so overloaded as to stall) — and each is therefore rated according to the rpm (revolutions per minute) which its shaft will turn. The two commonest are approx. 1725 and 3450 rpm. You can, of course, obtain higher or lower speeds at the equipment by using various pulley sizes or gears; but it is often facturer. Therefore, it's best to get a motor with the recommended rpm.
For the same reason, you can avoid trouble by getting a motor that revolves in the right direction (clockwise or counterclockwise). However, this

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The physical characteristics of a motor (its size, shape, etc.) can be just as important as its electrical characteristics if it must fit a certain space or drive a specifically designed piece of equipment. Some of a motor's physiserved by looking at the motor, and perhaps by taking measurements.
SIZE AND SHAPE
Obviously, if you have limited space in which to install your motor, size and shape are very important. Not only must you consider whether or not the motor will fit in _____it's also important for it to have room to "breathe". All motors require a free circulation of air, to keep from overheating. Don't squeeze one into a space so tight that it will "suffocate" in its own heat!
TYPE AND SIZE OF BASE
Different motors are provided with different types of mounting arrange ments. Usually, you can adapt a motor to most any special mounting require ment (if there's room); but much time and trouble can be saved by getting
HEIGHT OF SHAFT
When considering the type of base, consider also the height at which the shaft sets above the base. If it is too high, you may have difficulty locating the motor so that it can be connected to your equipment.
KIND OF SHAFT FND
Motor shafts come in different sizes (1/2 in., 5/8 in., etc.) - and are of differgenerally slotted - for a key - or flattened (beyeled) for use with set screws. Special shafts have detents (depressions for set screws), threads, holes (for pins), etc. If you don't have the right shaft, it's difficult to con-
Some motors have a shaft at each end (instead of just one end) - which may be quite an advantage for certain purposes.
TYPE OF BEARINGS
Generally, there are two types of bearings: Ball and Sleeve. The ball and longer... are usually sealed in grease so that no lubrication is required. Ordinary sleeve bearings restrict a motor to one "upright" mounting position since the oil cup must be above the bearing. How-
THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
When a motor becomes overloaded, it meets the increased demand for power by drawing a higher amperage. This can go on until it is overloaded to the point of stalling — and it will then draw an excessive amperage, so much (in fact) that either the motor or the wires to it will burn up if this condition is not corrected. A fuse in the circuit to the motor will correct this condition is by "blowing" to open the circuit.
Some motors however have a built-in thermal overload protector, which acts like a fuse to open the circuit, but is more convenient. Two kinds are used: 1) Automatic Reset (which closes the circuit again when motor has cooled sufficiently); and 2) Manual Reset (which can be closed by hand when the motor is cool enough).
SPECIAL HOUSINGS
The average motor housing is built to provide good protection for the motor (from dust and dirt) under normal conditions of motor operation around a home, office or plant. However, special conditions must sometimes be met — as when a motor must run in the presence of explosive fumes (around a gasoline depot). Housings designed for every conceivable special condition are available — but, remember, you must order them specifically.
HOW TO INSTALL YOUR MOTOR
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
USE LARGE ENOUGH WIRE, SWITCHES, ETC.
Importance of "Safe" Size
All wires and electrical devices (switches, receptacles, etc.) are designed to carry up to a specified load (no. of amps). Overloads may: 1) Cause wires or devices to burn out — with danger of fire; 2) Cause excessive voltage drop (loss of voltage at motor) so that motor runs inefficiently, overheats, and could burn out. Voltage drop should be held to 5% max. for R-I and 3-Phase motors; to 2% max. for all other motors.
Figuring Loads
For a motor, use the "Amps" shown on nameplate —and add 30% for safety. Other appliances are usually rated in watts. Amps = watts volts (i.e.: a 60
watt bulb on a 115V circuit = 60/115 = 0.5 +amps).
Selecting Devices and Wires
Devices are labeled in amps. Wires are rated by diameters with AWG (Am. Wire Gage) Nos.; by type (of covering); and by length. A wire may be just right to carry a certain load for (say) 50 ft; but not to carry it 100 ft. Reason: the longer a wire is the greater the voltage drop at its end.

Ratings in table are for 50 ft lengths of 2-wire cable or extension cord — or 100 ft of single wire. Increase wire by one size for each added 50 (or 100) ft, or fraction thereof. Never use smaller than 14 wire — or ordinary extension cord — for permanent wiring.
USE A SMALL ENOUGH FUSE
Every motor deserves the protection of an individual fuse or circuit breaker designed to "blow" before motor can be damaged. Because the starting amps required are much greater than the normal running amps , a standard fuse big enough not to blow every time motor starts is much too big to protect motor against burn out from continuous overloading. Therefore, only a Time-Lag type of fuse will protect your motor. Use one rated the same as the "Amps" on motor nameplate, plus not more than 25%. On 115/230V circuits, use 2 fuses; use 3 on a 3-phase circuit.
FUSES ARE CHEAPER THAN MOTORSI
MAKING CONNECTIONS AT MOTOR
Your Sears motor will have a cord and plug, or a conduit box with colored wire leads inside it. If there are leads, splice them to the circuit wires according to wiring diagram on motor.
CONNECTING TO AN EXISTING CIRCUIT
Before plugging-in or splicing a motor branch circuit to an existing circuit, check the wire (etc.) sizes — and check the load already on the circuit.
1. Some appliances will be OFF while others are ON. Just total the amps for those which could be ON simultaneously.
2. A 1/4 or 1/3 HP motor can generally be added to an average household circuit without overloading it — and a 1/2 or 3/4 HP motor probably can
if there are no other motors or heating appliances on the circuit. Larger motors usually require a separate circuit.
3. Open the circuit by removing the fuse (or fuses) which controls it.
4. If circuit has a standard fuse(s), substitute Time-Lag fuse(s), or install one in the separate line to motor — unless motor has built-in overload protection.

PROVIDING A NEW MAIN CIRCUIT
If the existing circuits and entrance switch are loaded to capacity - or if you need 230V and have only 115V - you will have to install a new service switch connected directly to the Power Co. lines.
1. Use any suitable size switch and mount this conveniently near the existing entrance switch. Complete all wiring from new switch to motor.
2. Have Power Co. connect new switch to their line — or have them shut off the power while you
make the connection.
3. If lines entering original switch are large enough (Power Co. will advise), you can connect new switch to these lines inside the original switch, as shown. Otherwise, you must provide new leadin wiring to a Service Entrance Head (or Yardpole, on a farm). Complete instructions are given in Sears' booklet "Electric Wiring for Home or Farm" on sale in our Elect. Appliances Dept. for
Never work with existing wires or equipment without first making certain power is OFF. Check local codes before buying wire or equip-
ment — or doing any wiring.
Avoid long extension cords - they are subject to damage.
For wiring in barns (where dampness and manure fumes rabidly deteriorate ordinary wires and metal ) we recommend use of our Single Wire
Trench Cable with Knob and Tube installation together with Bakelite Surface Wiring Devices. Open wiring permits frequent inspection.
Never install devices where someone must stand in dampness or close to machinery to operate them.
In stringing long wires remember to support weight of wire properly - and allow slack to take up the contraction of wire in cold weather.
PHYSICAL MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS
PRE-MOUNTING CHECK
To check against shipping damage, rotate the shaft with your fingers — it should turn freely. Now operate the motor without load — it should run smoothly with a low electrical hum.
SELECTING LOCATION
Locate motor where it will be as dry and cool as possible. Do not expose it to weather, nor enclose it so that it doesn't get free air circulation. (Wire screens around a motor may become clogged and shut off circulation). Also, don't install it where possible sparks could ignite grain dust or similar inflammables — unless it is a special enclosed type.
MOUNTING
Bronze bearing motors should be mounted horizontally — to prevent the oil from draining out of the oil cups. Ball bearing motors may be mounted in any position.
If quiet operation is desired, motor may be mounted on rubber or spring cushions — but this will cause it to "float" and is not advisable when exact shaft alignment is required.
There are two methods of maintaining belt tension. 1) Use the motor base slots, and slide the motor to tighten the belt. 2) Use a motor rail as illustrated. In either case, make the retaining bolts secure.
MEASURING FOR V-BELTS
You can measure with string or tape around the outside edges (not in the grooves) of the motor pulley and driven pulley — to obtain belt length. Length can also be figured as shown in accompanying illustration.
A belt should be just tight enough so that finger pressure midway between pulleys will deflect it about 1/4 inch. If too loose, slippage of the pulleys will wear it out. If too tight, it increases motor load and wear on the bearings.
SELECTING PULLEYS
V-pulleys are measured from edge to edge ( not in groove ). The following table gives you the speeds of driven pulleys when using various combinations of drive and driven pulley sizes (in inches).

PRECAUTIONS THAT WILL SAVE YOUR MOTOR
DON'T OVERLOAD MOTOR
Overloading a motor can burn it out. Don't expect it to run continuously overloaded.
DON'T LET VOLTAGE DROP
When voltage at motor drops, exactly the same thing happens as when the motor is overloaded. With too little "fuel" it is (in effect) overworked — heats up — and will burn out. Use ample size wiring.
DON'T "SUFFOCATE" MOTOR
If free circulation of air to a motor is restricted (by dirt, rags or paper, or closing it up in a box) it overheats — may burn out. Keep motor clean, and dry.
If used where wood chips, dust, etc. can enter inside, blow out the interior with dry compressed air — or use a vacuum cleaner.
GROUND MOTOR PROPERLY
The motor frame should be connected, by wire of same size used in line to motor, to a suitable ground (water pipes or a grounding rod properly installed) — both to protect you, and to protect the motor in case of an internal short circuit.
LUBRICATE MOTOR PROPERLY
Motors with bronze bearings do require occasional — but not too frequent or excessive — lubrication. It's best to check yearly and add a few drops each time. Too much oil can cause trouble by getting out of the bearing into the motor.
USE RE-SET PROPERLY
If you have an overload protector with a manual reset button, always wait for motor to cool before using the re-set. Never hammer the re-set (if it seems to "stick"), as this will break off the switch parts. Any trouble with re-setting will probably be due to dust between the contacts — and blowing away the dust, or simply holding the button in firmly, will correct this.
MOTOR ACCESSORIES....for Better, Easier Installations
CRAFTSMAN MATCHED V-REITS
exactly matched for size that a new one will replace an old one without need for readjustment. Then, too any
two or more belts used in a multiple drive will pull equally, each doing its share. One will not carry all the load while the other(s) slip, and wear. To be assured of matched belts use the matching code numbers printed on belts. Any two adjacent numbers (such as 19-20 or 20-21, etc.) constitute matched belts. This perfect matching is another Craftsman-like quality feature.
Craftsman belts are also the finest for wearability . they are pre-stretched to fit firmly down in pulley grooves are water- heat- and oil-resistant
PRECISION-MACHINED CRAFTSMAN V-PHILLEVS
All Craftsman V-Pulleys are scientifically designed and perfectly balanced, with machined (not simply cast-in) grooves so that belts will grip properly and run truer. This guarantees steady, efficient (no slin= page) power transmission, and long-

LINE SHAFTS AND ACCESSORIES
- Cup Oiler - Steel Shaft - Shaft Hanger 4 - Flex. Coupling
Machine Steel Shafting is available in suitable lengths in 1/2-in 5/8in, and 3/4-in, diameters for use with 1/2 to 1-1/2 hp motors for driving two or more tools (or machines) with one motor. The Flexible Counting connects the motor shaft to the line shaft, and is self-aligning to compensate for misalignment of motor mounting. Rigid Couplings are used to add
additional lengths of shafting. The adjustable height Hangers are used at intervals to support the shaft from below, above or the side; or the non-adjustable Pillow Blocks can be used instead. Collars keep the shaft from drifting. Use these accessories to economically power several tools which are not used often enough to require individual motors.
These rails make it easy to mount your motor. The "floating" type provides suspension motor mounting that automatically keeps correct tension on the belt.

FOR SAFE, HAZZARD-CONTROLLED OPERATIONS ON THE FARM — IN INDUSTRY
GIVES YOU Overload protection Low-voltage trip-out And remote on-off control
A TYPICAL MAGNETIC STARTER WITH ON-OFF CONTROL MOUNTED ON THE COVER
AVAILABLE - COMBINED WITH ON-OFF CONTROL - ON ORDER, FOR ANY FARM OR INDUSTRIAL MOTOR
A Magnetic Motor Starter provides safety . for equipment and individuals. First, it will guard you against the hazard of having machinery stop (when power fails). then unexpectedly start up again (when power is restored) to catch you unaware. Second, it will protect vour machinery against possible damaging effects of such an unexpected stop and restart. Third, it will protect your motor - by shutting it off instead of letting it run too hot — should line voltage drop too low, or should something happen to overload or stall the motor when no one is around to notice it And don't forget that a hot-running or stalled motor — with power still on - can become a fire bagard With Sears Magnetic Starter in the line. nower failure, low voltage or an overload condition shuts the motor off ... until you' restart it by manually operating the overload protector in the starter.
The (included, but separate) On-Off Control also has many advantages.
You can use it on the motor, for on-the-spot control . or, if motor is inconveniently situated, can position it elsewhere, at a convenient control location. Having such a separate control for each motor makes it unnecessary to pull a master switch (or disconnect the motor) to shut down just one machine. Moreover, separate Magnetic Starter and On-Off Control units on individual motors can be wired so that manual starting of the motors 'must be done in a given sequence, when this is desirable.
REA is especially desirous that all users equip motors with magnetic starters ... for the safety reasons given above.
TYPICAL USEFUL HOOK-UPS
WHY SEARS MOTOR LINE IS COMPLETE FOR OVER 90% OF AVERAGE NEEDS
As told on pages 4-5 there are two major types of current (AC and DC) and many variations of each type ... each requiring a different motor design. However, over 90% of the homes, offices, farms and small businesses in the U.S. are serviced with just one type of current, 115/230V, singlephase, 60-cycle AC.
Sears Motor Line includes all the various kinds of motors designed to
run on this one type of current and to do all the many different kinds of work that motors do. Included are motors for hard-starting tools and appliances, medium-starting tools and appliances, appliances requiring special motors, for heavy-duty industrial use, and for economical operation of very heavy farm and industrial equipment. Sizes range from 1/4 hp to 1 hp in the popular types . . , and up to 75 hp in the "heavy-work" types.
MOTOR IDENTIFICATION DATA IS AN ADDED SAFEGUARD
Every Sears motor is properly and clearly identified by a nameplate giving the motor model number and all the pertinent electrical data relating to the specific motor. Instructions packaged with each motor further identify it . and give all necessary information for wiring to the motor, mounting, maintenance, etc.
In addition, every Sears motor, except only the larger farm and in-
dustrial motors, is packaged in its own individual carrying carton, for your convenience, as illustrated here.
Contained in each carton there is a piece of literature on which are listed the various uses for which the motor is recommended. An identification tag attached to the motor lists the features which adapt it for these end uses; and the nameplate data is repeated on the end of the carton. You can't go wrong!
ALWAYS BUY CRAFTSMAN FOR THE BEST AT A BETTER PRICE
SPECIFIC MOTOR APPLICATIONS POWER TOOLS
Any power tool will perform better when ample horsepower is applied. Ample hp means sufficient starting torque and overload torque, as well as ample running torque. Insufficient hp usually results in rougher, poorer quality work (from slowing of overloaded motor) . and probable damage to the motor. Better have an excess of power, especially for those intermittent (but demanding) overload periods (as when a saw blade encounters a tough knot) than to have too little.
Remember that, even though a Split-Phase motor may have sufficient power for normal operations, a Capacitor motor of same size will provide the extra power needed for occasional tough starts or overloads. Also keep in mind that the totally-enclosed Capacitor motor is the most dependable for any application requiring continuous duty or operation under adverse conditions of dust, etc. Because a tool may be operated under many dif-
ferent conditions ranging from occasional, light usage to continuous, heavy usage in severe conditions, our motor recommendations in the following lists also range from the smallest, lightest-duty motor that can be used up to the best. Within this range, select for your own purpose the right motor for the kind of usage you expect to give it.
Following, there are two lists of tools separated according to rpm of motor needed. Each list is preceded by a list of motors arranged by sizes (hp) and giving the Catalog Nos., motor type, type of bearings, and other pertinent data. Also included opposite each motor is the number of the page where this type of motor is illustrated and more fully described. Note that a reference to "Type A (page 8)" means a totally-enclosed Capacitor motor; and that "Type B (page 8)" is an open-ventilated Capacitor motor (with either sleeve or the more rugged ball bearings, as shown in list).

FARM & INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT
Motor selection is explained for each type of equipment. Wherever there is a choice among two or more motors of the same hp, our recommendations are listed in the order of quality — with the best motor last. In such case, a "better" motor may be one having a greater starting and/or overload capacity (usually, with lower starting amps. requirement) . or may be a 3-phase motor for use where power supply will accomodate this even greater capacity and more economical-running type. Wherever there is a choice between an open-ventilated motor and a totally-enclosed, fan-cooled type, the latter type is also shown last (as being a "better" selection for use under adverse weather conditions).

NOTE: In addition to the above Catalog Listed motors Sears also carries Explosion-Proof (XP) Motors and Totally-Enclosed Non-Ventilated (TENV) Motors. These are available from 1/3 to 15 hp and can be ordered specially instead of one of the recommended motors, if your application requires. Refer to Sears Personal Service Department for prices and other information . . or for assistance in making your selection.
If in doubt, select the best or a greater hp motor rather than underpower your application!

Each model pump is designed to be driven at a certain rpm by a recommended hp motor . or at several different rpms with a motor of recommended hp for each speed. When driven as specified, a pump will produce tabulated results. In the case of Centrifugal Pumps, these results are tabulated in terms of gals. per min (GPM) under certain had pressures (FT, of HEAD). For Shallow Well Piston Pumps the results are stated simply in gals. per hr. (GPH). Use the same hp motor (and pulley sizes) as the original, or as recommended by manufacturer.
