Need motor for old joiner/planer

jaxjayhawk

I have an old Craftsman 4 1/8 joiner/planer, 5/8 hp, model: 149.236221 that the motor just burned up. Sears parts states that the part is no longer available. Does anyone know of a generic replacement or is a new unit the only alternative?

I can't give you the answer as to a direct replacement motor, and that's probably one of the older "real" units. Suggestion: Having "hands-on" working knowledge of having to have older electric motors re-wound---would this be an option for you? In my area we have two really good, locally owned, rewind shops, and a third which is a branch of a larger outfit. If nothing else, take the motor to them with the units serial and model number for an estimate. Good Luck, David

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look around here in Jax,

Most newer electric motors have a standard NEMA frame size.

Measure yours and if the frame size is standard, then find a replacement with the same frame, input voltage, hp, amperage and RPM.
