I'm looking at a used compressor with a burned out motor: 1 phase 220 5hp and thinking about cost of a replacement motor. I know Baldor is good. Are there alternatives which aren't so pricey? I understand the whole "you get what you pay for idea".
Baldor is on the upper end for sure. Dayton is an alternative, sold by Grainger. A Compressor duty motor is what you need. If it were my project, I'd get the cheapest thing that'll get the job done. Especially if the compressor already has a lot of miles on it.
I've got more than one Lesson such as these. Haven't had a lick of problems. Half the cost of Baldor or Marathon. Also, Global Industrial has the best prices unless you want to hunt-around on Amazon and take your chances getting it from some no-name vendor.
I live near a TSC Tractor Supply Company and they have 1 ph motors. I had a neighbor call me one day to see if I had an old one because his compressor motor died. I told him about TSC and he drove over and bought one on a Sunday. Here is a link. If they are not on your area maybe Fleet Farm? http://www.tractorsupply.com/
